The Problem

The Patient May Want The Dentistry. Fear May Be The Only Thing Stopping Them.

Every practice sees them.

  • The patient who postpones treatment for years.
  • The patient who becomes anxious before the appointment even begins.
  • The patient who wants the implant, crown, extraction, restorative care, or comprehensive treatment, but cannot comfortably get through the procedure.

And sometimes the dentist feels the anxiety too.

Minimal oral sedation is not simply about giving a patient a medication...

It is about understanding patient selection, pharmacology, monitoring, drug interactions, emergency preparedness, appropriate protocols, and the clinical judgment required to use sedation responsibly. 

THE OPPORTUNITY

THERE IS AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PATIENTS WHO WANT DENTISTRY—BUT ARE AFRAID TO RECEIVE IT.

Dental anxiety is not a small niche.

The current Oral Sedation Seminars curriculum was built around a simple clinical reality: many patients delay or avoid necessary treatment because of fear and anxiety.

When you become more capable of treating the anxious patient, you are not simply adding another technique.

You may be creating the opportunity to:

Treat patients who previously avoided care.
Improve the experience of longer or more complex appointments.
Increase patient confidence in your practice.
Reduce the stress surrounding difficult appointments.
Create stronger word-of-mouth from patients who never thought dentistry could feel manageable.

What You Will Learn

Two Days. A Practical System From Patient Selection To The Sedation Appointment.

Pick the Right Patient

Patient assessment, health history, risk evaluation, contraindications, and recognizing when sedation may, or may not, be appropriate.

Understand the Drugs You are Using

Clinically useful pharmacology of oral sedatives, characteristics of commonly used medications, and matching the patient, medication, dose, and procedure appropriately.

Monitor The Patient With Confidence

Physiologic monitoring, necessary equipment, recognizing changes early, and creating a safer treatment environment.

Build The “Perfect Sedation Appointment”

How to think through the appointment from patient selection and preparation through treatment and recovery.

Understand Drug And Herbal Interactions

Common medications, anticoagulants, cardiovascular considerations, herbal products, and drug combinations that can change your treatment decisions.

Prepare For The Unexpected

Emergency medications, reversal agents, emergency-kit considerations, and knowing what should be available before you need it.

Handle The Medically Complex Patient More Intelligently

Important considerations involving cardiovascular disease, bleeding risk, diabetes, anticoagulants, and commonly encountered medical conditions.

Put It All Together

Real-world clinical examples and practical decision-making designed to help translate what you learn into everyday dentistry. These are all grounded in the curriculum already displayed on your current site; the major change is that we are translating faculty-language into buyer-language.

JASON GOODCHILD, DMD

Learn From A Clinician Who Makes Complex Pharmacology Practical.

Dr. Jason Goodchild has spent his career at the intersection of dentistry, oral medicine, pharmacology, patient safety, and dental education.

His strength as an educator is not simply knowing the science.

It is making the science clinically usable.

Throughout the program, Dr. Goodchild connects pharmacology and patient assessment with the situations dentists encounter every day—so participants understand not only what a protocol says, but why they are doing it.
