INFILTRATION ANESTHESIA
for Dental Hygiene Procedures
A South Carolina Board of Dentistry Approved
Course
Infiltration Anesthesia for Dental
Hygiene Procedures is a course that has been designed by the faculty
of the Midlands Technical College Allied Dental Education Programs to meet the
requirements necessary for participants to take the S.C. Board of Dentistry exam
on infiltration anesthesia. (Only hygienists licensed in SC may take the board exam)
|
MTC Dental Hygiene students learn to administer local
anesthesia in the fall of their second year.
After completing this section of the course, they will spend a full
semester demonstrating this skill with community clients. After graduation, they are qualified to
challenge the S.C. Board exam for certification in infiltration
anesthesia. South Carolina is one of
the few states in this part of the country that allows dental hygienists to
administer local anesthesia.

Participants:
Traditionally, participants have been licensed S.C. dental hygienists who are
taking the course in order to add this skill to their practice. However,
hygienists who are licensed in other states and dental hygiene students are
allowed to take the course.
|
|
The Course: The course
consists of four full eight hours days that include lecture, lab, and clinical
experiences. Lectures include review of head and neck anatomy and landmarks for
local anesthesia, emergency procedures related to infiltration anesthesia, and
the pharmacology and math knowledge needed to administer injections. During each
of the four clinical experiences, the participant will have the opportunity to
administer local anesthesia to another participant in the course. Clinical
sessions will be completed hands-on and will cover anesthesia of the maxilla and
mandible for dental hygiene procedures.
