An EFDA must always maintain which certification?

Basic Life Support training is the standard readiness for handling medical emergencies in a dental office. It covers recognizing emergencies, performing CPR for adults, children, and infants, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED). Because an EFDA may need to respond immediately until emergency responders arrive, maintaining BLS ensures you’re prepared to act effectively in critical moments. CPR certification alone doesn’t always guarantee the broader emergency skills and AED use that BLS provides, while First Aid and standalone AED certifications don’t address the full scope of in-office emergency response. So keeping Basic Life Support current is the best choice for consistent patient safety in the EFDA role.
