2025 Colorado Mission of Mercy
2025-10-17 - 2025-10-18
The Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM) is a large-scale dental clinic that is held annually in a Colorado community.
The concept is simple: Create a two-day dental clinic in a large facility and open the clinic doors to the community. Dental services are provided to any person on a “no questions asked” basis. Patients are evaluated and treated based on their most urgent dental needs. Patients undergo dental treatments such as cleanings, fillings, root canals, and extractions. The best part about COMOM is that this quality treatment is provided at no cost to patients.

HR Webinar: Workplace Civility
2025-11-06 12:00 - 13:00
WEBINAR: Workplace Civility
Presented by Mr. David Bashford
The second most common claim that employment lawyers see from unhappy employees is a hostile workplace. What exactly is a hostile workplace? Despite everyone always assuring their law team they do not discriminate, intimidate, or harass employees or each other, why do valid claims for exactly that keep coming up? This webinar will look at the foibles, intended and unintended, that make for a hostile environment and how to maintain a strong and positive culture. We will explore what to do and what not to do if an employee alleges a lack of civility.
Objectives

Understand what constitutes a hostile workplace and the factors that lead to valid claims.
Learn strategies to foster a culture of respect and positivity to prevent workplace hostility.
Gain actionable insights on responding effectively to employee allegations of incivility while protecting your practice.

2025-12-06 08:00 - 16:00 | Mountain West Dental Institute
HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training
Presented by Dr. Jeffrey Young
Anxiety and pain are two of the main obstacles to the acceptance of dental care. Appropriate administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen can be a safe, effective means to alleviate mild to moderate fear and anxiety. In addition, it may diminish responses to pain and elevate pain threshold.
This course will provide an introduction to the pharmacology, mechanism of action and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen. The goals of anxiolysis, including clinical applications, indications, advantages/disadvantages and biohazards of administration will be presented. The monitoring and recognition of potential complications will be discussed.
A review of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen equipment and technique for safe administration will be presented followed by a demonstration of the administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen inhalation equipment in a dental clinic setting. Participants will then practice administration and monitoring using actual inhalation equipment.
This is a one-day course with approximately five (5) hours of classroom instruction followed by two (2) hours of clinical demonstration and practice. At the end of this course, participants will clearly understand the indications for use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen and be able to provide safe administration and monitoring.
Objectives

Discuss and understand the basic pharmacology and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen.
Review the anesthesia continuum and the Colorado Dental Board regulations regarding the administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in the dental office.
Know the goals of anxiolysis including the advantages and disadvantages of inhalation administration.
Discuss indications and contraindications for safe administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen.
Understand how to monitor patients and recognize potential complications of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen.
Review the inhalation equipment used for the administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in dental offices.
Become proficient in the administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen by practicing with inhalation equipment in a clinical setting.
