This is the Module of our interactive lecture and hands-on participation and certification course. It is designed for dentists and hygienists who desire to meet provincial and state dental board requirements for administering nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation to the dental patient (requires completion of Module 2 also). For those attendees looking to master adult minimal sedation to include both inhalational and oral sedation, completion of Module 1 and Module 2 is also required. In our virtual format participants can learn at their own pace and once all of the programs are successfully completed, there is an opportunity for a didactic, hand-on portion with our instructors at the dental school (dates are variable).
