Dex is more than just a buzzword…

Aren’t there more options out there?

I repeatedly asked myself this question each time I attended a dental sedation conference. I never seemed to find an answer.  A few years back, I chose to venture outside the dental world of continuing education (CE) and found a universe that I never knew existed…SPS. I found answers to this question and many others.  The “ah-ha” moments began with the pre-SPS Conference Provider Sedation CourseTM and have continued since then.  There is a universe out there solely focused on the advancement of pediatric procedural sedation in both medical and dental settings.

SPS isn’t just about attending a weekend conference to fulfill your dental sedation permit requirements.  SPS will change your approach to pediatric dental sedation in ways that you never thought possible.

SPS isn’t thinking outside the box. It’s opening the box and showing all the possibilities out there to you as a practitioner.  I invite you to step outside your comfort zone and experience a real change in how you approach the next sedation in your office.  Increase your knowledge and reach a new level of safety and patient satisfaction.  A presentation and roundtable discussion on the real-world application of SPS principles in dental sedation will be given during SPS 2020.
