CPR and BLS training for Ontario dental teams - what to expect
CPR and BLS training is required and often rushed. A good session leaves your team confident in an emergency - not just certified.
What's covered
Adult, child, and infant CPR with hands-on manikin practice. AED operation. Choking response. Emergency scene management for a dental setting.
How long it takes
Most full-team sessions run 3–4 hours including hands-on practice. Refreshers are shorter.
Validity & renewal
Certification is typically valid for 2–3 years. Prime DMS tracks renewal dates so nothing lapses before an inspection.
