ANESTHESIA FOR THE DENTAL HYGIENIST COURSE
Today’s dental hygienist must be knowledgeable in all aspects of the hygiene profession including providing local anesthesia administration to provide comfort to the dental patient. Presented by an *AGD approved CE provider recognized by the NC Dental Board and taught by a North Carolina Licensed Dentist, this course provides the participant with the mechanics to create a positive patient environment with competent pain and anxiety management. All aspects of local anesthesia are explored from pharmacology to anatomy and managing all dental patients requiring local anesthesia. As with any hands-on training course, the participant should realize that competency, and ultimately proficiency, in the administration of local anesthesia requires repeated administration and periodic self- reeducation.
