Description:
Many state dental boards require onsite inspections for dentist offices that wish to provide sedation and Anesthesia services to their patients. Conscious Sedation Consulting is offering an onsite continuing education program for dentist offices to be prepared and to successfully complete a sedation inspection. We will come to your facility and provide a 1-day (8 hours) onsite sedation continuing education program for your office and staff.

Sedation Coaching helps you build on your strengths and exposes your weaknesses. Just by having an outside voice offer suggestions and critiques brings our practice to a new level of awareness.

Coaching helps you execute on the fundamentals and brings you back to the basics which often get forgotten when our practice evolves.

See your sedation team transform with effective communication and process improvement techniques.
