Local Anesthesia for Dental Hygienists

This course acquaints the dental hygienist with the academic and practical
aspects of administration of local anesthetics in dental patients. It provides
the student with the required training and information to safely and effectively
relieve pain and reduce anxiety in the dental patient. It requires that the student
apply knowledge from pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology and anatomy.
The student should also realize that competency, and ultimately proficiency, in
the administration of local anesthesia requires repeated administration and
periodic self-reeducation.

Program Format – due to the nature of the program registrations will close two weeks prior to the course.

* Must attend the live weekend session, pass the written examination and finish all web-based, self-instruction and observational criteria to complete the program.
