Dental Emergencies

Enrol

Dental education is an often-neglected area in medical curricula giving the impression that the mouth is a no-go zone for most physicians, despite it being just another part of the body. This module with its supporting units attempts to demystify the mouth allowing physicians to confidently describe, document and manage commonly presenting dental emergencies using evidence-based information.

Topics covered include:

  • Dental Nomenclature & Tooth Anatomy
  • Intra-oral Haemorrhage Control
  • Prevalence Assessment & Classification of Traumatic Dental Injuries
  • Dental Trauma Management
  • Local Anaesthetic Techniques
