IDA Jammu to host CDE on pain management, dental emergencies

Indian Dental Association (IDA), Jammu Branch, is organizing a Continuing Dental Education (CDE) program on “Pain Management and Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice” on 3rd May 2026 at Jammu. The session will be delivered by renowned oral surgeon Dr. Vimal Kalia from Chandigarh, an expert with extensive clinical and academic experience in managing complex dental cases.

Dr Vibha Raina, Secretary, IDA Jammu, said that this CDE comes at a crucial time when modern dental practice is increasingly encountering patients with diverse medical histories, systemic conditions, and heightened expectations for pain-free treatment. Effective pain control is no longer just a clinical requirement but a key determinant of patient trust, compliance, and overall treatment success. Dentists must stay updated with the latest protocols, pharmacological advances, and evidence-based approaches to ensure safe and predictable outcomes.

Equally important is the preparedness to handle medical emergencies in the dental office. Situations such as syncope, allergic reactions, cardiac events, or complications arising from local anesthesia can arise unexpectedly, even in routine procedures. Immediate recognition and prompt management can be life-saving. This program aims to reinforce the dentist’s role not only as a clinician but also as a first responder in critical situations.

Dr. Vimal Kalia will provide practical insights, real-life case discussions, and updated guidelines that can be directly implemented in daily practice. The session will emphasize hands-on decision-making, risk assessment, emergency protocols, and the creation of a safe clinical environment for patients.

IDA Jammu Branch strongly encourages all dental practitioners, including general dentists, specialists, and interns, to attend this highly relevant and informative CDE. Participation will not only enhance clinical competence but also boost confidence in handling challenging scenarios, ultimately improving the standard of patient care.

In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, continuous learning is not optional but essential. This CDE offers a valuable opportunity for dental professionals to upgrade their knowledge, refine their skills, and reaffirm their commitment to patient safety and excellence in dental practice.
