    This course provides knowledge in minor oral surgery during dental treatment. Minor oral surgery refers to procedures which can be performed by general dentists under light anesthesia and typically within 30 minutes or less. These procedures often pertain to the extraction of broken or impacted teeth.

    The dental assistant plays a crucial role in aiding the dentist to ensure a safe and successful procedure. This includes preparing necessary materials, ensuring all equipment is properly functioning, efficiently handing off to the dentist the needed tools to complete the procedure and ensuring the patient’s comfort through the procedure.
