Dentistry never stands still. Every moment there are new developments—from technological advancements to practices opening, from dental students graduating to the creation of better treatment methods.

DOCS Education places their attention squarely on the latest advancements and ensures that their curriculum not just matches, but exceeds the industry standard for excellence. The Pediatric Sedation Dentistry curriculum is the latest to be fine-tuned in order to implement meaningful change for children and pediatric dentists everywhere.

In our last issue of Incisor, we sat down with Dr. Roger Sanger, who serves as the lead instructor for Pediatric Sedation Dentistry and has personally completed over 10,000 cases. He explained why pediatric sedation dentistry, when carried out by a responsible and well-trained dentist, is a highly safe and effective means through which to treat children efficiently and comfortably. (To read Dr. Sanger’s thoughts click here.)

In this issue’s installment of our ongoing series about Pediatric Sedation Dentistry, we will be unveiling our refreshed and innovative curriculum.

The new Pediatric Sedation Dentistry course includes three major developments:

Advanced Pediatric Airway Module with High Fidelity Human Simulation (APAM): On the second day of the course you will be trained using APAM. This highly advanced simulator exhibits precisely the same scenarios that could occur during a sedation appointment and will provide you with the practical know-how to calmly and knowledgeably address an emergency.

A walk-through of six scenarios programmed into high fidelity human simulators that have direct application for pediatric dentists who sedate children in their office: Using APAM, John Bovia will lead attendees through six key emergency scenarios including asthma, diabetes, foreign body introduction, allergic reaction, excess of local anesthetic and Sinus Tachycardia (ST) or Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT). This invaluable training will ensure you leave the course prepared and skilled in the event of an emergency.

Team Training Breakout Session: Successful implementation of new skills depends not just on an intelligent doctor—but an intelligent team. Led by Dr. Peter Chiang, a practicing pediatric dentist and lecturer, this course is designed exclusively for team members and will provide them with the confidence, skills and preparation to ensure pediatric sedation is implemented safely and efficiently in your practice.

These curriculum changes will be unveiled for the first time ever in Seattle, WA from November 14-16, 2014. To view a complete course description and learn more about changing your practice for the better, click here.

When it comes to continually improving, the same philosophy holds true for dentists. Whether you’ve already completed Pediatric Sedation Dentistry or are interested in improving the lives of the underserved fearful child demographic, the new Pediatric Sedation Dentistry curriculum is an investment your practice deserves.
