Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the courses held?
Our courses are held in classroom and study club-style spaces throughout the greater Seattle area. Specific course locations will be listed during registration and may vary by course date.
Do you provide BLS, ACLS, or PALS certification?
Does this course satisfy my anesthesia CE requirements as a dentist?
Yes. Our courses are designed to cover the required anesthesia continuing education topics under WAC 246-817-773.
But our goal is to go beyond simply “checking the box.” We focus on practical, real-world anesthesia scenarios that dentists can apply directly in daily practice, including patient screening, emergency preparedness, case discussion, and clinical decision-making.
How often do I need to renew my anesthesia CE?
The renewal cycle depends on the type of sedation or anesthesia you provide:
Minimal sedation, including nitrous oxide or halcyon, requires anesthesia CE every 5 years.
Moderate sedation with enteral/oral agents, moderate sedation with parenteral/IV agents, pediatric sedation endorsement, and deep sedation/general anesthesia require anesthesia CE every 3 years.
How many anesthesia CE hours do I need?
The number of CE hours depends on your sedation or anesthesia level:
Minimal sedation and minimal sedation with nitrous oxide requires 7 hours.
Moderate sedation with enteral/oral agents requires 7 hours.
Moderate sedation with parenteral/IV agents requires 14 hours.
Pediatric sedation endorsement requires 14 hours.
Deep sedation/general anesthesia requires 18 hours.
How is your course different?
After working with hundreds of dental offices, we consistently heard the same feedback: dentists wanted anesthesia CE that was more practical, more interactive, and more relevant to real-world dental practice.
That is why we created a Washington-based anesthesia CE course designed specifically for dentists practicing in Washington. Instead of a lecture-only format, we focus on practical scenarios, case studies, patient screening, emergency response, common complications, clinical decision-making, and hands-on training.
Our goal is for every dentist who provides sedation or anesthesia to leave feeling more confident, more prepared, and better equipped to apply the material in daily practice.
Can I use my anesthesia CE toward my dental license CE renewal?
Anesthesia CE requirements are separate from the general dental license CE requirements.
I only provide local anesthesia. Do I need anesthesia CE?
If you only provide local anesthesia and do not administer or prescribe medications intended to alter consciousness, anesthesia CE is not required.
However, if you administer or prescribe medications such as nitrous oxide, benzodiazepines such as Halcion, oral sedation medications, IV sedation medications, or any other medication intended to alter consciousness, anesthesia CEs are required.
