Medical emergencies can and do occur in dental practices every day.

This course will discuss the diagnosis, prevention, and management of common medical emergencies that might occur in dental offices. This course is appropriate for the entire dental team and meets the medical emergency education requirement of the Oregon Board of Dentistry for license renewal and anesthesia permits.
