Course Overview
Delivered over one day in a small-group format, this program gives you a comprehensive overview of the options for managing patients’ pain and anxiety during oral surgery, from local anaesthesia and analgesia through to sedation and general anaesthesia referral. Risk assessment, monitoring, safe discharge and emergency preparedness run through every session.
Who it’s for:
General dentists who want a holistic understanding of pain and anxiety management so they can choose the right approach for each patient and procedure.
Prerequisites:
Current general registration as a dentist with the Dental Board of Australia (AHPRA). Recommended as the first course in the AAOSE Sedation Pathway.
