BOOK OF THE WEEK

 

Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office


The 'Gold Standard' textbook in dentistry today, MEDICAL EMERGENCIES IN THE DENTAL OFFICE prepares dental professionals for recognizing and managing medical emergencies and diminishing their danger. It concentrates on the prevention of emergencies and addresses specific types of emergencies: unconsciousness, respiratory difficulty, altered consciousness, seizures, drug-related emergencies, chest pain, and cardiac arrest.
