With the general population living longer and with that associated need for dental
care, there will be more medical emergencies occurring in our offices.
Dr. Dan Pompa, an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, presents this in-depth
Medical Emergency course. This course describes the essential drugs needed for an Emergency Kit and how to use them according to Color Coding the Medical Emergencies. We will address
our need as Dentists to recognize the early signs and symptoms and for the
management of these crisis situations. The viewer will learn through scenarios of patients experiencing these emergencies along with the proper sequence of responses for each emergency.
After graduating from New York University College of Dentistry in 1978, Dr. Pompa completed a General Practice Residency at Long Island Jewish Hospital, followed by specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Lincoln Hospital, New York Medical College. In 1982, he became a Fellow of The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and in 1992 a Fellow in The International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
Dr. Pompa has been a guest lecturer at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and New York University College of Dentistry and is now a guest faculty at NYU College of Dentistry and the University of Florida College of Dentistry.
Dan has lectured extensively, including at the Academy of Osseointegration, the International Interdisciplinary Congress on Craniofacial and Skull Base Surgery, and has presented at the annual Greater New York Dental Meeting numerous times throughout the years.

Dr. Pompa is an author, having published in such journals as the Journal of the American Dental Association.
