About your CPD Course
In dentistry, there are many actions and procedures that are necessary for effective treatment, but cause pain and discomfort to patients.
Anything from needling to the placement of rubber dams or orthodontic bands can cause localised pain. A topical anaesthetic can ease the discomfort caused so the patient can relax and the dentist can continue with the treatment more easily.
With specific training, dental nurses can learn to apply topical anaesthetic and ease the workload of their dentist. This Topical Anaesthetic Application for Dental Nurses course not only gives you theoretical knowledge and skill needed to apply topical anaesthetic under the prescription of a dentist, it also accounts towards your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.
The course is delivered online, so you can conveniently get the knowledge you need from home or wherever you prefer. Simply enrol to gain access to the live online lectures in our virtual classroom.
Throughout the lectures, you will explore the different types of topical anaesthetic, how to prepare the working area, the step by step application process, how to maintain clinical records and more. After which, you will be ready to take on more responsibility in your role as a dental nurse.
