Reignite Your Skills: Local Anesthesia Refresher Course for Dental Hygienists

Are you feeling a bit rusty in your local anesthetic skills? Are you wanting to learn the newest trends in anesthesia and pain management for your patients? Whether you are an experienced RDH or recent graduate, many clinicians are looking to build confidence and skill in the delivery of local anesthesia.
The refresher course is designed specifically for dental hygienists who are already certified in administering local anesthesia but seek to update, refresh and refine their knowledge and skills.Â
This program will provide a comprehensive review of anatomy, anesthetic selection, complications and injection technique. You will also learn alternative injection techniques and new trends/products available in pain management.
This refresher course is a blended online program and a live virtual Q&A session.Â
We are excited to announce our collaboration with Tina Clarke, RDH (AKA Teacher Tina) for this online course!
