Testimonials
“I was very impressed with the Dental Office Emergency Solutions course that Ken gave in our office. We received a comprehensive overview of emergency drugs and their actual administration given by a practicing paramedic. We gained greatly from being involved in emergency scenarios at chairside, allowing us to see how a medical emergency might evolve and how we should respond in our own office environment. Being told in a lecture to dose a nebulizer and hook it up to an oxygen tank is one thing. Deciding at chairside that it is needed, sending a team member to get the tank and applying the medication to the patient is another. I feel much more confident now that we can respond appropriately to an emergency.”
