Many kids and teens are still presenting with high caries rates, despite best efforts. The last thing busy parents want to hear is that their child needs several dental appointments. Learn how safe and effective minimal oral sedation can benefit not only the child or teen with multiple and/or advanced caries, but can also save time for patient, parent, dentist, and staff.

Join DOCS and esteemed faculty members, Dr. Roger Sanger, DDS, MS (lead pediatric instructor), Dr. Leslie Fang, MD, PhD, and anesthesiologist Dr. Steven Yun, MD, for this once-a-year program. Learn to diminish everyone’s stress by performing one-visit, no-memory sedation on pediatric patients requiring multiple visits.

Even the best seminar presentation can't replicate the value of training in an actual clinical setting. That's why we offer a premium experience for dentists wishing to put their knowledge into practice. The Personal Learning Experience (PLE) places dentists and staff members within a pediatric dental clinic. This real-world setting provides the best possible look at how sedation can be provided safely and efficiently to a wide number of patients every single day. Participants gain vital access to successful clinical techniques and established practice management approaches.

Information evolves, as do protocols, pharmaceuticals and best practices, which are critical to providing safe and effective sedation for children. Recertify to stay compliant or just refresh your understanding of the latest developments in pediatric sedation dentistry.
