Is your discomfort with managing anxious or special-needs patients holding you back from treating these populations? Patients who suffer from situational anxiety, phobias, autism, Alzheimer’s Disease, who are too young to be cooperative, or who are mentally challenged present particular management problems for the dentist and his or her staff. In this course we will explore common misconceptions about treating special-needs patients. Then, you will learn how to successfully manage anxious patients and most special-needs patients in your dental office by using simple techniques such as nitrous oxide, oral sedation drugs, Velcro® restraints, and mouth props. Find out how to easily expand your practice by serving these additional patient populations.

Routine dental procedures are easy to perform when a patient is sitting still, opening wide and responsive to your requests. However, if they are mentally or medically compromised or overly anxious, even your best office management techniques and sedation protocols may fail. Treatment in a hospital or surgical center operating room may be the best answer for patients who are uncooperative, combative, mentally challenged, medically compromised, too young to understand, or too anxious to sit still. In this course we will lead you through the steps involved in treating patients in the O.R., from initial contact to post-op follow-up visit. Learn how expanding your practice into the O.R. can be safe, comprehensive and efficient for both you and your patients, and also easier to accomplish than you may have thought.

Practice does not make perfect: practice makes permanent. The way you were taught to pull teeth in dental school may not necessarily be the best for you or your patients. Through a series of fun hands-on demonstrations, in this course you will learn to apply principles of effective and efficient body mechanics to exodontia. This new, inexpensive (you already have all the tools!), and simple method to extract teeth will eliminate fatigue of your wrist, arm and body, and result in 75% fewer fractures than the classic exodontia technique. You will be able to pull teeth more quickly, and your patients will enjoy a faster recovery.
