Course Description

Saturday, May 16, 2026 | 9AM-11AM CST

The successful use of Procedural Sedation in Pediatric Dentistry hinges on the creation of safety processes while understating risks associated with various classes of medications. This two hour webinar will examine levels of risk associated with specific classes of medications and what safety processes can be employed to prevent morbidity and mortality.

The material for this course will be expanded on during our 2026 Fall Sedation CE Course in Austin, TX. Find more information and register here - or on our website! 

This subsequent course will focus globally on pharmacologic behavior guidance (to include in-office general anesthesia) to tackle issues such as liability when working with anesthesia providers, special needs, and impact on use of sedation/GA in office, as well as the role of minimally invasive dentistry within armamentarium. Finally physiology will be framed specifically in terms of birth history and airway development.

Objectives

Attendees will be able to:

1. Understand concepts of physiologic and behavioral risk associated with specific classes of sedative agents (Benzodiazapenes and Opioids/Opiates)
2. Be able to provide staff with basic intervention skills for medical emergencies associated with procedural sedation
3. Implement safety protocols to optimize margins of safety with sedation and general anesthesia procedures
