Courses for DDS/DMD
There are 4 courses available to dentists.
21 CE CREDITS | TUITION $1,975 | DENTISTS
Inhalation sedation combined with oral sedation has proven effective and safe for reducing stress in apprehensive or anxious patients.
By offering Nitrous Oxide & Oral Sedation, dental offices are better able to serve their nervous patients and local community. Offering this service empowers you to better retain and treat patients when confronted with difficult cases or anxious patients. Furthermore, you’ll be able to provide more immediate care by eliminating the need for specialists in some cases. IV sedation makes you stand out by combining improved customer service and patient care options.
15 CE CREDITS | TUITION $1,575 | DENTISTS
Our stand-alone certification is designed to give you the skills and competency needed to offer Nitrous Oxide sedation.
This course includes both didactic and practical hands-on participation involving the administration of nitrous-oxide and oxygen inhalation sedation.
This course consists of an online theory and lecture (pre-study required) module in eClass followed by a scheduled in-person clinic day. This course covers modalities 1 and 2 in Alberta.
15 CE CREDITS | TUITION $1,200 | DENTISTS
Our stand-alone certification designed to give you the skills and competency needed to offer orally administered sedatives.
This course covers modality 3 in Alberta - oral sedation for patients 12 years of age and older and consists of an online theory and lecture (pre-study required) module in eClass followed by a scheduled clinic day.
Upon completion, you will have a firm grasp on the safe administration of oral sedatives and proper charting that is required.
8 CE CREDITS | TUITION $875
Be confident in your clinical skills managing airway emergencies as required for those providing sedation.
This course consists of two components: a theory module and a hands-on module. Participants will have the opportunity to practice airway management on high-fidelity simulators and run through simulations to improve your confidence and skill.
On completion you will enable you to:
- Distinguish sedation levels in moderate to general anesthesia in terms of clinical characteristics and influence on respiratory and cardiovascular function.
- Describe essential features of preoperative assessment for patients undergoing dental treatment under sedation or general anesthesia.
- Describe and demonstrate principles of patient monitoring distinguishing requirements for moderate sedation versus deep sedation/ general anesthesia based on your sedation permitting.
- Describe and demonstrate proper airway maintenance during sedation and general anesthesia.
- Describe and demonstrate the proper use of devices for oxygenation and ventilation.
- Describe the pathogenesis, recognition and appropriate management of possible complications associated with moderate sedation, including essential pharmacology of emergency drugs that may be required.

TUITION $750 | RDA & RDH
Become a key team member in the delivery of many types of sedation dentistry and stand out amongst your peers.
In most provinces it is a requirement to have a sedation trained assistant in the operatory during any sedation. To this end, we designed the Sedation Assistant Certification course to prepare dental assistants to be key team members in the delivery of many types of sedation dentistry.
This technology-integrated course combines the convenience of remote learning through eClass and the effectiveness of in-person learning with our on-site workshops. Prior to on-site attendance, there is a three week study period (approx. 30 hours) with a theoretical review, video lectures, and multiple choice quizzes.
Courses for RDAs
There are 2 courses available to assistants.
