Course Description

The updated Moderate Sedation Review course now reflects the new regulations issued by the LSBD and is a one day, 6 hour “update” course for those hoping to complete their 2-year sedation permit renewal. In an effort to address everyone’s needs, we are making it two different courses with the first one focused on the entire office with an emphasis on oral sedation. Our course will review patient assessment, team members’ roles, emergencies during sedation visits as well as review of the drugs, techniques and troubleshooting cases based off Dr. Record’s 20 years of sedation dentistry. The end of the day will be open for case discussion from his practice and yours. The second course will focus primarily on parenteral (IV, IM) sedation techniques, review oral sedation protocols, emergencies and review some special needs cases.

Course Objectives

1. The W’s of Moderate Sedation
2. Role of Team Members from Front to Back
3. IV, IM, IN Sedation Dentistry Reviews: drugs, techniques, etc.
4. Managing Emergencies during Sedation Dentistry
5. Review Oral Sedation Protocols
6. Review of some special needs cases from Dr. Record’s Private Practice
7. Q & A from the audience throughout the lecture

Current sedation permit renewal requirements with the LSBD:

The Louisiana State Board of Dentistry requires that dentists with adult sedation permits take six hours to renew every two years. Additionally, the LSBD requires that dentists with sedation permits for pediatric patients will have to do six hours of pediatric sedation renewal AND 6 hours of the adult sedation renewal every two years. If the permit holder has a pediatric certification and sedates ONLY persons below the age of 13, and signs a certification to that effect, then only the 6 hour in-person pediatric sedation course is necessary.

Speaker

Dr. Ben Record

Dr. Benjamin Record is a native of Clinton, LA. In 1999, he received his B.S. from LSU in Baton Rouge and completed his certification in Doctor of Dental Surgery from LSU School of Dentistry in 2003. After graduating, he completed his two-year hospital dentistry residency (General Practice Residency) at LSU Medical Center (“Charity Hospital”) in New Orleans.

While in New Orleans, he developed his complex restorative dentistry and sedation dentistry skills while working with various cases and patients, including trauma patients, post-cancer, and surgical patients. The lessons he learned solidified the “mouth-body” connection, which emphasized that a healthy and functional oral cavity translates to a healthier body.

He also worked with medically compromised and special needs patients. This required him to be adept at managing medical issues and their oral health in cooperation with their physician(s). His interests lie in oral surgery, dentures, implants, trauma, dentistry in the operating room, and TMD management.

After completing his residency, Dr. Record was asked to be the director of the General Practice Residency program at LSUSD. During his tenure, he helped rebuild the GPR program after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, expanding the residency, which now has multiple residents in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Dr. Record now brings the enthusiasm, ingenuity, and creativity that helped grow the GPR program to his patients at Record Dental Center, in the growing City of Baton Rouge!
