Medical Errors in Dentistry
This course will meet the Medical Errors Prevention in Dentistry requirements for license renewal. We will explore the primary areas where medical errors can occur and how to prevent them.
As a dental health care professional, you must be aware of the risk of medical errors and learn strategies to minimize that potential risk. Medical errors can occur at any point in treatment, even in preventive care, and do not always result in patient injury or death. Dental professionals who suspect the occurrence of an adverse reaction to a drug or dental device have an obligation to communicate that information to the broader medical and dental community, including, in the case of a serious adverse event, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
