A Veritable Quandary?

Leave a Comment / Non-Opiate Analgesics, Opiate Crisis, Regulatory Compliance, Sedation, Uncategorized / By David Lambert

One of the most common questions we hear from licensed dental healthcare professionals when considering the prospect of dropping their federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) permit is “Can I do that?” The answer is “Yes you can”. Your professional license issued by the state in which you practice affords the ability to conduct patient care

A Shift In Thinking

Leave a Comment / Non-Opiate Analgesics, Opiate Crisis / By David Lambert

We need to rethink the way acute pain is managed. We tend to think of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory or acetaminophen whether used alone or in combination (non-opiate multimodal anaglesic therapy) as “alternatives” to opiates…when in fact we should actually consider the converse…that opiates are the alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents – alone or in combination. We

Clonidine Revisted…Again…

Leave a Comment / Non-Opiate Analgesics, Sedation / By David Lambert

We continuously endorse the use of over-the-counter analgesics (non-opiate multi-modal therapy) such as Advil (Ibuprofen), Aleve (Naproxen), and Tylenol (Acetaminophen) – alone or in combination – for most – if not all dental procedures…including surgery.

Getting Started

Ok, I paid my registration fee. What do I do now?

Category: Getting Started

Once you have paid your course registration fee, you will be able to access your course after you sign-in to your user account…which you just created. But you need a password!

Did you receive these emails?

A transaction receipt
A course confirmation
General User Instructions
Log-in details
And possibly others…

Are those emails in your “Inbox”? If not, check your spam folder. If they are in your spam folder, your email provider (or domain) is filtering messages from ce-dojo.com. If your registration emails from CE Dojo are being sent to spam, see our FAQ “I can’t find any emails from CE Dojo!!”.

One email provides you with log-in details you specified during registration. But, it will also prompt you with a link to set your password. When complete, these two credentials – user name and password – will provide access to your “account”. Write these down. If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself – see our FAQ “I forgot the password to my CE Dojo user account!”

Now that you have your password in hand, you can log into your account to access your course(s).

I can’t find any emails from CE Dojo!!

Category: Getting Started

Often times email services (Google, etc) will filter email away from your inbox. Did you check your spam folder? But, simply moving our email out of spam to your inbox will NOT prevent future emails from meeting the same demise. The solution is to add email addresses from CE Dojo to your contact list.

If you do not find any email communications from CE Dojo in any of your email folders – including spam – there is a very real possibility your internet service provider (ISP) may have a firewall that is blocking our email. We have found that even adding our email addresses to your contact list does not resolve this problem. We have identified a couple of problem ISPs:

RoadRunner (nc.rr.com)
Apple (iCloud.com)
Embarq
Frontier
HughesNet
And others…

In this case, there is no resolution to this problem other than to create a “free email” account with Gmail, YahooMail, Hotmail, etc. Provide CE Dojo with your new email address and we’ll update our records. Again, don’t forget to add us to your contact list!
