Emergencies Will Happen

You AND your dental team need to be ready to correctly identify and competently handle the situation.

Sure, you have done CPR training every other year for as long as you can remember, but truly a Cardiac Arrest is the LEAST likely scenario to happen in your office in real life.

However, as good as you are you are only as good as the weakest member of your dental team.

This Medical Emergency Training for the Dental Office training program was designed to drip education and training to the dentist and dental team to help you learn in small chunks over a long term.

In all it's glory - Rome wasn't built in a day so how does it make sense to train up a proficient dental team in a day? Silliness!

We have found that breaking training up into smaller bites and doing it over a period of time works best. So that's what we do. This training won't take up a lot of your time and it is offered to keep the team fresh! Because that's what your patients expect and deserve.

Based on media attention surrounding patient deaths, outcries from legislators and patient safety advocates, and ADA recommendations, State Dental Board's (California, Texas, and other states) are tightening regulations on dental providers requiring better preparedness through:

1). Education and training of dentists and dental teams (above and beyond CPR/ BLS)

2). Purchase and maintenance of more medications and equipment

3). Written emergency policies and procedures

4). Sedation safety inspections by state regulators and internal checks and documentation

This program is developed to help you get prepared for new and tougher regulations that are being developed by Dental Boards across the country.

Your patients deserve better than a deer in the headlights response when they experience a medical problem in your office. Sharpen your skills to provide the best life saving response and patient outcomes to the people who trust you.

Our Expertise

Duane Tinker

I worked in EMS in various capacities for over 20 years. My experience includes:

First Responder
Interfacility BLS
911 BLS Ambulance
911 ALS/ MICU Ambulances

... in high volume Urban/ Suburban and Rural pre-hospital settings.

EMS is my first love. As an EMT I've been in situations you may one day find yourself dealing with when a patient has an emergency in your office.

When all else fails remember this:

There is no such thing as a "textbook emergency." But practice and review give you and your team the tools to "improvise, adapt and overcome" when things go totally wrong.

This program is derived from real world experiences and will help prepare your team for medical emergencies in your practice.
