Abstract
While emergent events are thankfully rare in the dental setting, the ethics inherent in any patient care nonetheless demand preparation by doctor and team.
Drawing from his 30 years' experience in the field of emergency medicine, DOCS Education faculty member John Bovia describes the must-have drugs that should be available in any dental office.
Discover the essentials of emergency preparation.
Bovia's down-to-earth one-hour CE discusses the emergencies that are most likely to take place and what you can do to prevent a career-defining fatality from occurring. "Keep it simple," Bovia explains, showing that a few critical tools that are well-understood and able to be quickly implemented make a much more practical approach than a bag full of unfamiliar expired medications.
