The intended audience for this event includes:

Consolidate your knowledge of all aspects of anxiety relief Many of our patients are quite anxious about seeking and receiving dental treatment. In fact, it may lead to some people avoiding dental care completely until excruciating pain gives them no choice. Dentists should be able to provide alternatives to control a patient’s anxiety and to assist them to receive treatment.

This course will cover a spectrum of anxiety relieving alternatives. It will give the caring dentist a selection of anxiolytic techniques that can be offered to their patients including psychosedation, oral sedation and inhalation sedation.

All participants will have the opportunity to administer and experience the full range of effects of relative analgesia using nitrous oxide-oxygen, and, after completing the course, will feel confident in setting up and administering this agent

A review of Basic and Advanced Life support will be undertaken and electromechanical monitoring options will be discussed.

Topics include:

  • Application of psychosedation techniques
  • Review of Basic Life Support
  • Review of relevant anatomy
  • Pharmacology of oral and inhalational anxiolytic agents
  • Equipment requirements
  • In-surgery advice: sterilisation, scavenging and safety
