Course programme

You'll learn about:

  • anatomy in the oral cavity and dental local anaesthesia
  • mechanism of action – why do our genes matter?
  • 'correct' local anaesthesia – why does it not work?
  • the clinical effects of different techniques and types of local anaesthetics – is one technique better than the other?
  • adverse effects following treatment with dental local anaesthesia – are they all real
  • clinical practice with the most common injection techniques

Please note, you'll take turns acting as a therapist and a patient. This means you'll inject others, and need to agree to be injected with local anaesthetic under close supervision.
