Course Information

Treat Confidently, with a Gentle Touch

As the States and Provinces in North America become more
concerned with sedation techniques and react with new
Guidelines and Standards requiring dentists to attend pertinent
continuing education courses to maintain their licenses, only two
things are missing --- the availability of such courses and sufficiently trained faculty to present them. There is also the growing need in our profession to continually update the strategies and techniques required to safely manage and treat patients with complex medical conditions and subsequent drug therapies. It is the mission of Med WoRx and the South Beach Dental Institute to meet these needs by presenting appropriate courses given by recognized qualified faculty.

"We all need to be updated for the same reason we have to renew
lifesaving courses on an annual basis. Our memory changes things. Because this is one area you can get into real trouble if you do it poorly, you need to refresh your memory." ~ Dr. Fred Quarnstrom This two-day course is designed for everyone: general practitioners, specialists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, hygienists, and dental assistants. Sedation and Pharmacology Dentistry covers all aspects of inhalation analgesia, including the best methods for dealing with anxiety control. Participants will learn the latest techniques during an interactive, all-day session that meets the requirements for nitrous oxide re-certification. If you use any form of inhalation analgesia in your office, or are considering it, this course will remove any doubt in your abilities.
