Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office Course Description
Emergencies in the office can and do occur. Most dentists will, at some point in their career, be faced with an in-office emergency. An additional consideration that may lead to increased medical emergencies in dentistry is the growing number of elderly patients in the population who seek dental treatments. These patients are typically more medically compromised, so dentists who treat these patients may see an increase in the number of medical emergencies.
Course Objectives
1. Assess patient risk and apply proper treatment planning principles 2. Review the complex medical issues that many patients present within today’s practice
