Behind the Mask: A Critical Look at Emergency Preparedness in Dental Practices

The episode features Dr. Marn introducing the "beehive vs. lone wolf" concept, comparing the collaborative emergency response of hospital teams to the solo responsibility often placed on dentists. This contrast exposes serious risks in dental practices during critical moments. Dr. Marn presents his Four Pillars of Sedation Emergency Readiness—Infrastructure, Competency, Culture, and Habit—which go beyond equipment and CPR. These pillars emphasize psychological safety, clear roles, and effective team dynamics to help dental practices build truly reliable emergency systems, not just meet regulations.
