About Book
Medical Emergencies in Dentistry is an essential guide to the diagnosis and immediate management of medical incidents that may occur in the dental environment. Dental students and dental practitioners must be able to carry out first aid and should also be able to recognize and take appropriate action in situations such as anaphylactic reaction, hypoglycaemia, upper respiratory obstruction, cardiac arrest, and fits. The topics covered include the drugs and equipment to be stocked in dental practice and the incidence of medical emergencies in the practice of dentistry. This practical handbook cavers the theory behind emergency management, in conjunction with practical tips and training, so that all members of the dental team are able to deal with uncommon but potentially tragic events. Medical Emergencies in Dentistry provides qualified dentists, dental students, dental nurses, and other general dental professionals with a useful source of information and guidance on a subject that will be of interest to all in the field.
