Description

Mental Health First Aid for Dental Practices

Our Mental Health First Aid for Dental Practices course has been developed and written by Dr Hannah Wade, Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist, DClinPsy, MSc, BSc. Hons, currently practicing within the NHS. It is specifically aimed at professionals working in dental surgeries across the UK.

The main aims of this course are:

  • To develop foundation level skills in assessing and managing anxiety amongst dental patients
  • To recognise when and how to signpost patients onwards for mental health support
  • Not to become specialist mental health professionals, but to safely stay within the “scope of practice” (General Dental Council-GDC, 2013, pp1-11)

MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID FOR DENTAL PRACTICES COURSE OBJECTIVES:

  • To review the evidence base and professional guidelines regarding assessing and managing anxiety amongst dental patients
  • To learn how to assess symptoms of anxiety via a group task, the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Cross-Sectional Maintenance Model of Anxiety
  • Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and communication skills training (CALM Mnemonic)
  • To learn how to treat anxiety via breathing and distraction exercises and providing emotional containment and support
  • To recognise when and how to refer to available services
  • To maintain a focus on self-care
