Get clear, practical guidance you can apply immediately… without travel, guesswork, or overly complicated protocols.
Every practice sees them.
And sometimes the dentist feels the anxiety too.
It is about understanding patient selection, pharmacology, monitoring, drug interactions, emergency preparedness, appropriate protocols, and the clinical judgment required to use sedation responsibly.
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.
Two Days. A Practical System From Patient Selection To The Sedation Appointment.
Patient assessment, health history, risk evaluation, contraindications, and recognizing when sedation may, or may not, be appropriate.
Clinically useful pharmacology of oral sedatives, characteristics of commonly used medications, and matching the patient, medication, dose, and procedure appropriately.
Physiologic monitoring, necessary equipment, recognizing changes early, and creating a safer treatment environment.
How to think through the appointment from patient selection and preparation through treatment and recovery.
Common medications, anticoagulants, cardiovascular considerations, herbal products, and drug combinations that can change your treatment decisions.
Emergency medications, reversal agents, emergency-kit considerations, and knowing what should be available before you need it.
Important considerations involving cardiovascular disease, bleeding risk, diabetes, anticoagulants, and commonly encountered medical conditions.
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.
This Course May Be Particularly Valuable If…
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.
