Course Description:

With nearly 30% of the population experiencing enough fear of the dentist to avoid critical care, it is our responsibility to offer them safe and effective techniques to alleviate their fears so they can restore their health.  The question is – how can this be accomplished reliably?  And when you do provide sedation, which level of sedation is best for your practice?  Dr. Carol Wilson actively practices sedation as a general dentist and teaches this modality to thousands each year.  She will help you explore these different levels so you can discover the best path based on the needs of your patients.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore the spectrum of sedation and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
• How N2O makes each level of sedation more predictable.
• What oral medications are best to use for safety and efficacy?
• Why IV sedation training has changed since COVID.
• Mitigate the disadvantages of oral sedation and IV sedation.
