Optimizing Patient Intake for Sedation Dentistry

Go beyond routine intake forms and instead focus on identifying your patient’s medical risks, dental anxiety, anesthesia limitations and appropriate sedation options. Building on knowledge of medical emergencies, you will learn how to take a more complete “snapshot” of the patient’s psychological and physiological profile to support better clinical decisions, safer anesthesia administration and improved patient comfort. This is not an anxiety treatment course, but a training session in risk awareness, planning and decision-making to help you anticipate and prevent complications.

Learning Objectives
– Evaluate patient histories and risk factors to identify potential medical complications, anxiety risks and anesthesia limitations before treatment
– Integrate psychological “snapshots” of patient anxiety into clinical decision-making around anesthesia and sedation
– Compare and apply appropriate minimal and moderate sedation options to improve patient comfort and safety during care
