Course Overview

Dr Angelo G Preketes & Dr Michael Walker present the first comprehensive 1-day course to educate dentists in Oral sedation/Anxiolysis, combined with Basic Life Support training. This program is the only one-day program in Oral Anxiolysis of its kind. Supported by, Dr Preketes and Dr Walker, Clinical Senior Lecturers (Oral Surgery, Medicine and Diagnostics) Education Focused at the University of Sydney and Senior Examiners in the Conscious Sedation Diploma at the University of Sydney, the only diploma recognized by APHRA. One full day is needed to educate Dentists in comprehensive oral anxiolysis and its nuances and complexities to provide the appropriate medications. The one-day course in Oral Anxiolysis is aimed at providing the candidate with the skills and knowledge to deliver oral medications safely and recognise and manage medical emergencies that may occur with the use of oral anxiolytics. This new program will provide formal education in oral anxiolysis, that dentists currently do not have access to. Oral sedation/anxiolysis is a technique used commonly by dentists to decrease a patient’s anxiety and induce appropriate level of anxiolysis and calm, to enable dental treatment to proceed. With this technique, a patient’s airway and communication skills remain intact.
