Disclaimer

The American Dental Association (ADA) developed the Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office Response Guide to assist dental practices in their management and responses to possible medical emergencies in the dental office. It is not a substitute for emergency preparedness training on the skills that may be required to respond to an emergency. Dentists and members of the dental team should obtain any necessary and appropriate training on any skills or procedures they may be called upon to use in a medical emergency in the dental office. This guide does not encourage dentists or members of the dental team to practice beyond the applicable scope of practice laws. The ADA has used care to confirm that the drugs and other information set forth in this guide are in accordance with current recommendations and practice at the time of publication and have made efforts to make this guide useful and informative. Users of the information in this guide must understand that the every medical emergency is unique, the law varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, scientific knowledge and the law sometimes change more rapidly than these materials, and that each dental practice must appropriately respond to medical emergencies and develop any emergency response practices in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

This guide does not constitute policy of the ADA, provide legal or medical advice, establish a standard of care, or restrict a dentist’s exercise of professional judgment. As the science of emergency response evolves, changes in practices and drug treatment and use may become necessary. The reader is advised to consult the package insert for each drug to consider and adopt all safety precautions before use, particularly with new and infrequently used drugs. The reader is responsible for ascertaining the U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance of each drug and device used in his or her practice.

The treatment and pharmacotherapy discussed in this guide should be undertaken only within the bounds of applicable federal and state laws, including those pertaining to dental practice, and to privacy and confidentiality, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and similar state laws. The ADA disclaims all responsibility for any liability, loss, injury or damage resulting directly or indirectly from the use and application of the information in this guide and make no representations or warranties with respect to such information, including the products described herein.
