Dr. Michael Silverman & Dr. Anthony S Feck – Beyond Valium
Description
Sedation dentistry provides an ideal environment for the ultimate in a relaxed dental experience, as patients remember little of the appointment and feel as though hours are mere minutes. With oral sedation dentistry, both your most frightened patients and extensive appointments are transformed into the best visits.
Valium® has been used for more than 30 years to sedate anxious patients; however, modern medicine has provided doctors with numerous other options. Learn how to apply new safe and simple protocols to alleviate your fearful patients’ anxiety. The lecture will introduce you to seven factors you must know to confidently deliver sedation dentistry as well as three reasons why oral sedation dentistry is so safe. You will be shown how to adjust the level of sedation to fit your patient’s comfort and your technical needs. We are dedicated to making sure you know how to provide maximum safety for both patient and practitioner.
Offering adult oral sedation provides many advantages to caring dentists, not the least of which in treating a more comfortable patient. Other advantages include: performing more dentistry in a single visit; bigger restorative cases from patients who were previously reluctant due to anxiety; and patients who feel little to no postoperative discomfort regardless of the procedure resulting in more referrals.
Biography
Dr. Michael D Silverman is globally recognized as a top dental innovator, educator, and advocate for patients’ rights.
He first began to develop oral sedation protocols in the mid-1990s to meet the needs of an overwhelming number of patients at his practice experiencing dental fear and phobias. After recognizing the tremendously positive impact sedation treatments had on his patients—and the incredible need throughout the U.S.—he co-founded DOCS Education in 1999.
In addition to serving as President and faculty member of DOCS Education, Dr. Silverman travels across the country to educate dentists on the methods, techniques, and power of ora sedation dentistry. A passionate believer in lifelong Continuing Education (CE), Dr. Silverman has attended more than 2,000 hours of postdoctoral training and CE between 1985 and 201 and has personally treated over 3,750 sedation cases.
Dr. Silverman believes that a successful sedation practice is built on intuitive marketing. He doesn’t stop at teaching dental professionals about sedation dentistry techniques; he also shows them his own tried-and-true methods for promoting sedation treatment, growing a practice, and optimizing profitability.
Dr. Anthony S Feck graduated with high distinction from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry where he received numerous awards for scholastic excellence. Soon after his graduation in 1983, Dr. Feck was appointed Associate Professor of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry at his alma mater.
Dr. Feck has been in private practice in Lexington, Kentucky, since completing his education. As an established clinician, mentor, author, educator, and speaker, Dr. Feck’s passions include practice building, dental technology, pharmacology, and sedation dentistry. Seeking a way to treat the startling number of people with dental phobia, fear, and anxiety, Dr. Feck co-founded the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, now known as DOCS Education, with Dr. Michael Silverman in 1999. As the Dean of Faculty, he has played a major role in DOCS Education’s growth as a leading provider of dental continuing education.
An engaging international lecturer, Dr. Feck has been a featured speaker throughout the Unit- ed States, Canada, and Europe. He has presented at local and state dental associations, as well as the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and been a featured speaker at MasterPlan Alliance retreats. Furthermore, he helped develop the “Leadership Challenge,” a series of courses designed to teach leadership principles to dentists.
A passion for excellence and a strong business background lead Dr. Feck to found Sunrise Dental Solutions (SDS) in 2007, a business solutions and consulting firm that helps manage some of the most successful dental practices in North America. He has developed several models to assist dentists in their professional growth including “The Ultimate Team” series, “Own Your Market,” and “Solution Yes.”
