AHA-Aligned · Arkansas Dental Teams · 2025 Guidelines
Learn Today Dental Education provides American Heart Association–aligned CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support) certification for dental teams throughout Arkansas. We come directly to your dental office — your entire team trains together in one session, on your schedule, without travel or practice disruption. Our in-office CPR training is available to Arkansas dental offices across the state serving Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, Springdale.
The AHA BLS Provider course is the gold standard for healthcare CPR certification and is the most widely accepted format among state dental boards, credentialing bodies, and malpractice insurers. The AHA reports that effective CPR can double or triple survival rates from cardiac arrest. In a dental office — where sedation, local anesthesia, and medically complex patients are part of everyday practice — your team needs to be prepared to act before EMS arrives. Learn Today's course uses the latest 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) with dental-specific emergency scenarios built into every session.
Claudia Sosa, Learn Today's certified CPR/BLS instructor, leads every session with hands-on mannequin practice, two-rescuer team drills, AED operation, and real-world dental emergency response scenarios. Each participant completes a written assessment and hands-on skills verification before receiving their AHA BLS Provider certification card — valid for two years. Arkansas dental teams across Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, Springdale rely on Learn Today for convenient, board-recognized in-office BLS training.
| Dentists | BLS certification required for dental licensure renewal in Arkansas; malpractice insurers expect current AHA-aligned certification |
| Dental Hygienists | Required for Arkansas dental hygiene license renewal; must be AHA-aligned with hands-on in-person skills verification |
| Dental Assistants | Strongly recommended for all clinical staff; required prerequisite for EFDA Nitrous Oxide Analgesia certification in Arkansas |
| Front Office Staff | Dental board and OSHA guidance strongly recommends every practice employee hold current BLS certification |
| Entire Arkansas Office Teams | Learn Today's in-office format trains everyone on the same date — no staggered expirations, no uncertified team members |
Most state dental boards — including Arkansas State Board of Dental Examiners — require dentists and dental hygienists to hold current BLS certification from an approved provider. The AHA is the most widely recognized standard among dental boards nationwide, and most boards require in-person skills testing with a certified instructor — online-only BLS courses typically do not satisfy Arkansas dental board requirements.
BLS cards expire every two years. When a team member's certification lapses, it can affect their license renewal, their eligibility to assist with sedation procedures, and your practice's malpractice insurance standing. By scheduling Learn Today's in-office group training, every member of your Arkansas dental team renews on the same date — clean records, zero gaps, zero compliance risk.
Arkansas dental offices serve patients with cardiovascular conditions, anxiety-related reactions, medication sensitivities, and sedation complications every day. A team that can recognize a cardiac emergency, communicate clearly, and execute coordinated CPR and AED response can make a critical difference before EMS arrives. Learn Today builds dental-specific emergency scenarios into every course — so your Arkansas team isn't just certified, they're genuinely prepared.
Each participant who successfully completes the written assessment and hands-on skills verification receives an AHA BLS Provider certification card valid for two years. Learn Today provides documentation suitable for submission to the Arkansas State Board of Dental Examiners for dental license renewal. For Arkansas dental assistants pursuing EFDA Nitrous Oxide Analgesia certification, this BLS card satisfies the required enrollment prerequisite.
