Course Description

The Course will be separated in two sections:

1. Review of Emergencies in the Dental Office (6 CE Core 1)

A pre-requisite for this course, however, participants who enroll in the Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedation course are automatically enrolled in the ‘Review of Dental Emergencies in the Dental Office’. The general dentist will have an increased aptitude to recognize signs and symptoms of potential office emergencies and will be equipped with the knowledge to intervene appropriately.

A multiple-choice exam will be administered and a minimum score of 70% must be attained to be considered to have successfully completed the course. A maximum of 1 exam retake will be allowed.​​

2. Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedation (18 CE Core 2)

Second part of the course has the purpose of providing clinical and didactic skills for dentists to administer Minimal Sedation effectively and safely by either Nitrous Oxide or Oral medication, or to administer Moderate Sedation with the above routes independently or in combination.

A multiple-choice exam will be administered and a minimum score of 80% must be attained to be considered to have successfully completed the course. A maximum of 1 exam retake will be allowed.

Note: Prior self-study of the course material is required. All participants will be evaluated on technical aspects and didactic components to ensure competency. A participant who scores between 65%-79% on the sedation exam will not be considered to have successfully completed this course and considered only to be potentially qualified to administer Minimal Sedation Nitrous Oxide.

Sedation is a procedure authorized by the RCDSO. You must be registered with and authorized by the RCDSO to administer sedation.

No. Dentists must have RCDSO authorization to provide sedation. To do so, dentists must apply to the RCDSO. Requirements include:

1. Completion of the application form

2. Submission of certificate of course completion

3. Proof of active at least BLS/CPR

4. Paying the required fee

Part of the process of completing the application, is to designate if you are applying for visiting or non-visiting permit. Non-visiting permit means the provider will not bring equipment with them and it will be provided by the facility.

Dentists must designate at which facility moderate sedation will be performed. This is because regardless of having a visiting or non-visiting moderate sedation authorization permit, the facility where the sedation is to occur must also have a facility permit. This is either a A (OM or greater) permit or B permit. For more information on permits visit the RCDSO website.

B permits facility have limited equipment and a visiting provider must bring nearly all drugs and equipment with them. The more common Type A permit, is for a facility which houses all the sedation equipment and drugs and this is where a non-visiting authorization permit holder would likely work.
