Medical emergencies occurring in the dental office can be stressful and frightening – not only for the patient, but also for the entire dental team. This course is designed for dentists and staff to develop strategies to prevent, identify and respond to medical problems including syncope, allergic problems, cardiovascular abnormalities and respiratory distress. Emphasis will be placed on preparing your team in advance of a crisis to minimize its potential impact. Although dentists or staff will benefit by attending individually, the greatest gain is achieved when the dental team attends together. An extensive handout is provided which can later be condensed into a chairside manual with appropriate protocols to respond to most emergencies. Learning objectives:

• Develop strategies to prevent, identify and respond to medical problems.

• Meet the Ohio State Dental Board’s auxiliary educational criteria for Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office.

• Be prepared to minimize a crisis’ potential impact.

Note: This course meets the Ohio State Dental Board’s criteria for dental hygienists and general supervision.

Oral health impacts overall physical health. Reimbursement success will often come down to the insurance company, dates of service, and the dental care you’re requesting payment for.

This course is just a beginning to have the ability to provide a lot of medical billing in your dental practice.

They will survey the dental practice landscape and discuss the fundamental responsibilities of all dentists regardless of practice type.
