WHY LEARN IV SEDATION?
Were you aware that the average dental fear patient needs $1000 in care for every year since their last dental visit?
Practices performing IV sedation attract patients that will increase your productivity and advance the image of your practice as a leader in the level of care offered in your community.
IV Sedation Training for Dentists LLC uses a unique approach for your didactic training. You’ll complete 60 hours of didactic study, including 35 hours of live interactive virtual training plus 25 hours of classic classroom training.
A COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING
Your training will cover airway management, medical emergencies, and includes ACLS certification as part of the curriculum. You’ll learn practical ways to implement sedation in your practice, and also receive free bonus materials on how to treatment plan most effectively with sedation patients. And you’ll have access to online material after the live presentations via your online account.
You’ll also receive 20 live patient experiences over four days of clinical training. In many cases, a separate dentist will perform operative and surgical procedures to allow you to concentrate on learning the intricacies of safe IV sedation.
