MENTORing programme

Offering dental sedation at your practice is an excellent way to build your patient base and enhance your dental business. Our dental sedationists are recognized mentors, awarded by STAC at the Royal College of Surgeons.  

At Dental Sedation Solutions, we provide dental sedation training through mentoring packages focused on inhalation sedation and IV sedation. Once you complete the theory training from an accredited sedation course, you can reach out to us for sedation cases supervision—where we will oversee your 10 or 20 mentored cases. We come to your clinics to offer supervised care and support to both the Dentist and Nurse throughout the sedation process. Additionally, we can provide a STAC-accredited Sedation Nurse for one-on-one support, which we highly recommend.  

Please note, we do not source patients; the responsibility of finding patients lies with the delegate. It's crucial to train within your own working environment, and we aim to guarantee a smooth, practical learning experience at your practice.  

According to the IACSD guidelines version 1.1 (2020), all sedation practitioners—including dentists and nurses who have completed didactic learning—must perform 10 inhalation sedation (IHS) and/or 20 IV sedation cases under the supervision of an experienced and approved mentor.  

Furthermore, you will need Immediate Life Support (ILS) training, which may encompass both adult and pediatric ILS depending on your practice’s requirements. We can recommend RCMS, whom you can contact for more information.  

The Royal College of Surgeons has established a mentor approval process, which can be found here.  

We have work-based assessments in place to ensure that all components of the syllabus are covered before signing off the mentee. We will continue to guide you and provide advice and support as you transition into an independent sedation provider.
