COURSE OVERVIEW:
Dental anxiety is an unfortunate reality for many Canadians. While there are a number of ways to address this situation for patients, one of the most effective is the use of oral sedatives. There are a number of categories of medications available for this purpose, including benzodiazepines, antihistamines, “natural” sleep aids (e.g. melatonin, camomile), and a host of others. One of the keys in the management of dentally anxious patients is for dentists is to learn to make the safest and most effective pharmacologic choices for them.
This course will focus on how to recognize patients that might benefit from minimal conscious sedation; that is, relaxation that allows patients to independently maintain their own airway while making their dental experience less frightening. Patients in this state can ask and answer questions during their appointment.
This course will include the following topics:
- Provincial sedation bylaws
- Appropriate patient selection and assessment
- Sedative medication pharmacology
- Oral sedation protocols
- Recognition and management of sedation emergencies
At the successful conclusion of this course, participants will be certified to provide oral minimal conscious sedation for their patients .
PLEASE NOTE: This course satisfies the Manitoba Dental Association’s bylaw requirements for Initial Qualification/Training and Continuing Competency certification to administer conscious sedation of a single oral sedative agent
