Your patient just went pale, silent, and unresponsive in the chair. Do you know exactly what to do in the next sixty seconds?

Most chairside emergencies are survivable when the team recognizes them fast and acts with a clear protocol. Most are missed, delayed, or mismanaged because the team never rehearsed the sequence before the crisis arrived.

This clinical reference guide, fully updated for the 2026 edition, walks every member of the dental team through the six emergencies most likely to appear in general practice: syncope, anaphylaxis, angina and acute coronary syndrome, epileptic seizures, hypoglycaemia, and airway obstruction. Each chapter follows one evolving patient case through recognition, escalation, and resolution, so the reasoning sticks the way a checklist alone never does.

Inside, you will find:

• Step-by-step chairside protocols anchored to AHA, ESC, NICE, and Resuscitation Council guidance
• Clear diagnostic tables separating benign faints from true cardiac and neurological emergencies
• Drug dosing, equipment checklists, and team-role assignments you can rehearse before you ever need them
• Over 100 clinical illustrations showing correct positioning, airway technique, and emergency anatomy with precise labeling
• A QR-linked video course of more than 100 verified clinical teaching videos, organized chapter by chapter
• Legal documentation guidance and post-event debrief protocols for the hours after an emergency resolves

Written by a practicing clinician for dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, and dental students, this guide replaces vague anxiety about worst-case scenarios with a rehearsed, confident response.

Stop hoping you never need this. Start preparing so that if you do, you already know exactly what to do.
