The latest N2O headlines are no laughing matter. What dentists need to know.

Join Dr. Anthony Carroccia and DOCS Education for In the News Again: Nitrous Oxide? No Joke! This timely course will equip dentists with the knowledge to confidently discuss questions about nitrous oxide that may arise in their practice—from patients, employees, and even peers.

We’ll address common misconceptions and provide updated guidance surrounding the recent discussions that N2O news is generating. Attendees will ultimately command a better understanding of nitrous oxide overdoses and abuses, court cases and newer laws, as well as its impact on the environment.

  • Review how nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation works.
  • Identify signs and symptoms of nitrous oxide overdose.
  • Confidently answer questions about N2O in the practice.
