Dental emergencies can happen at any time, so it's important to know if your dentist's office has life-saving equipment on hand. This equipment can make all the difference in the event of a cardiac or respiratory emergency.
Most dental offices are equipped with basic life support equipment, such as an automated external defibrillator (AED) and oxygen tanks. Some offices may also have more advanced equipment, such as a pulse oximeter or a suction machine. In the event of an emergency, the dentist or staff will be trained to use this equipment to provide life-saving care.
