January 9, 2013 by Dr. Varun Pandula 2 Comments

As a doctor we all should be aware of the steps which should be taken in case of any Emergency which we might come across in daily life or in our Dental Clinics during any procedure. An emergency can arise in any case, while administering Anesthesia if the patient is allergic to LA and experience anaphylactic reaction, Airway blockage, Cardiac problems while on the Dental chair, Seizures (in patients with history of Epilepsy) etc.

It is a must to have a Dental Emergency Kit in your Dental clinic / hospital to help in such emergency situations, the contents of the kit help you in case of any unfortunate emergency which you might need to face during any Dental procedure in your Dental office.
