Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office, 8th Edition helps you learn the skills needed to manage health issues in the dental office or clinic. The text describes how to recognize and manage medical emergencies promptly and proactively and details the resources that must be on hand to effectively deal with these situations.

Logical format reflects the way emergencies are encountered in a dental practice, with chapters organized by commonly seen clinical signs and symptoms, such as unconsciousness or altered consciousness, respiratory distress, seizures, allergic reactions, chest pain, and cardiac arrest.

Full-color illustrations demonstrate emergency techniques with realistic clarity.

Summary tables and boxes make it easy to find essential concepts and information.

Quick-reference algorithms in the appendix include step-by-step diagrams showing the decision-making process in common emergency situations.

A differential diagnosis chapter ends each of the book's parts on common emergencies.
