OVERVIEW
During the course of a successful practice, oral-healthcare providers will face situations that may lead to lifethreatening incidents. This course will summarize common medical emergencies that require immediate response in the dental office. The treatment procedures included are those activities a clinician “can’t afford not to do” when faced with an unexpected urgent problem.

OBJECTIVES
An awareness of the medical history and the various medications commonly prescribed for patients to selfadminister will assist clinicians in anticipating the most commonly encountered medical diagnoses and provide valuable information that will help to identify high-risk patients who may experience a life-threatening medical emergency. Participants in this course will be able to recognize signs and symptoms, formulate a diagnosis, and initiate immediate action to stabilize the patient.
