Aims

Fear of the dentist is a major barrier to patients getting the care they need. Approximately 10% of the U.K. population actively avoid going to the dentist, with over 40% of patients stating they have a mild to moderate fear of the dentist. 

Coupled with guilt and embarrassment, these patients often suffer tremendous pain and potentially life threatening infections. With modern dental sedation techniques and modern treatment technology however, dental treatment can be easy and fears bypassed. 

This course, for any member of the dental team will introduce what sedation techniques are available, and what routes into training are available for members of the dental team. 
Objectives

By the end of the course, delegates should:

Have a basic understanding of what dental sedation is and how it can help patients

Understand how blood pressure works and gain some confidence in taking and interpreting blood pressure readings with a hands on demo

Understand how IV Cannulation works and practice on hands on demo models

Gain a basic understanding on what pulse oximetry means with a hands on demo

Understand the first steps in getting trained to treat patients under sedation

CPD evening - Using Sedation Confidently to Treat Anxious & Nervous Patients

Dr Rob Endicott BDS

10th September 2015

18.30 - 21:30

Warwickshire Dental Training Institute, Stratford Dental, Aintree Road, Stratford upon Avon CV37 9FL

Qualifies for 3 hours CPD Up to 6.5 million people

In the UK consciously avoid the dentist, even when experiencing extreme pain. Of the out of those who are dental patients, forty percent regularly experience anxiety, ranging from mild discomfort to extreme fear. And, nowhere is this problem more acute than when dealing with children, which is stressful for both patient and dentist alike.

So, how can you help to restore confidence and allay fears? During this detailed and informative presentation, Rob Endicott introduces the practice of using pharmaceuticals to manage dental anxiety. In just three hours (which also qualifies as CPD), you’ll understand the routes to qualification, the ways in which patient’s lives can be dramatically improved and how this will make more of your clients dedicated fans of your work.

Since 2004, Rob has focused on dental anxiety, regularly employing sedation to help patients from the mildly nervous to the extremely phobic. During this period he’s performed in excess of 2,500 intravenous sedations and over 200 by inhalation. Rob is also an active member of both SAAD and the Dental Sedation Teachers Group, acting as a registered mentor for both organisations.
