EFDA Expanded Function · St. Louis, Missouri · Dental Board Approved
Learn Today's Nitrous Oxide Analgesia course is the most advanced EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Assistant) certification available for dental assistants in St. Louis, Missouri. This board-approved course qualifies dental assistants to assist with and monitor nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia procedures under dentist supervision — a certification required by the Missouri Dental Board before any dental assistant can participate in sedation-assisted procedures at a St. Louis dental practice.
For dental assistants in St. Louis building a complete EFDA credential, adding Nitrous Oxide Analgesia certification is the final — and most career-defining — step. This certification opens doors to sedation-focused practices, pediatric dental offices, oral surgery environments, and specialty practices throughout St. Louis and the surrounding metro. Dental assistants with full EFDA credentials including nitrous oxide reach the top earning tier for dental assistants in Missouri. Learn Today brings this training directly to dental offices serving St. Louis and the surrounding metro.
Important enrollment requirements for St. Louis participants: A current AHA CPR/BLS certification is required to enroll — your card must be valid on the day of the course. If you need CPR/BLS, Learn Today offers that training too and can help you schedule both courses together in St. Louis. This is a hands-on course where students work on each other — no outside patient required. Clinical scrubs are required. This course is not available to students who are currently pregnant.
