This course will be delivered in ENGLISH.
This course meets the RCDSO’s requirements for certification in oral moderate sedation.
Delivering stress-free dentistry is a transformative goal for practitioners. This comprehensive course empowers dental professionals to integrate moderate conscious sedation—utilizing both oral sedatives and nitrous oxide—into their clinical practice safely, efficiently, and confidently. Participants will gain hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge through lectures, case-based scenarios, and practical application with sedation equipment and medications. Upon completion, attendees will be equipped to provide minimal to moderate conscious sedation, enhancing patient comfort and expanding the scope of their dental services.
