Special Features: Pain control is the foundation of successful dental patient management. Good injection technique is essential for consistent anesthesia. Dental professionals licensed to administer local anesthesia (Dentists and some Dental Hygienists) must use the medications available to them with caution and confidence.
The patient's psychological state must be evaluated before the administration of any anesthesia. A relaxed, confident patient will respond better to local anesthesia. An anxious or phobic dental patient may require some type of intervention strategy to relieve the stress before administering anesthesia. Other considerations such as the health of the tissue (presence or absence of infection) and deviation from normal anatomy must be assessed as well.
This course is a review of currently accepted practices for dental local anesthetic administration. This course will not lead to licensure of local anesthetic administration. The student should be knowledgeable about head and neck anatomy and basic emergency medical procedures for the dental office, including CPR.
