website, in whole or in part.Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter Regardless of how much care is taken, not all dental office emergencies can be prevented.Therefore, should an emergency occur, the dental team must be prepared. To be prepared, the members of the dental team should have a well-planned and practiced emergency routine, have all necessary equipment available, and have appropriate emergency numbers posted at all phones. In addition, the entire staff, even those without direct patient contact, should maintain current credentials in basic life support (BLS) or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This will allow for rapid recognition of a medical emergency, resulting in more efficient patient management.Cengage Supplements The following product-level supplements provide additional information that may help you in preparing your course.
