AEDs for Dental Offices
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen anywhere, including your dental office. Being prepared with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) means you can act fast and potentially save a life.
As a dentist, you already prioritize patient care and safety, so adding an AED to your practice strengthens that commitment. Ensure your office is prepared for cardiac emergencies with our Health Canada-approved AED packages.
Why You Need an AED as a Dentist
SCA is rare, but it can be deadly within minutes if not treated. AEDs save lives by restoring the heart’s rhythm and guiding bystanders through CPR, giving paramedics time to get there. SCA can happen to anyone, but with more older patients visiting dentists—many with conditions like arrhythmia or heart disease—the stress of the dental setting could increase their risk.
The importance of AEDs becomes even more critical when administering general anesthesia. General anesthesia can depress cardiovascular function and, in rare cases, lead to cardiac emergencies, including SCA. Recognizing this risk, some provinces, such as Alberta, mandate the presence of AEDs in facilities where anesthesia is administered. This ensures rapid response in the event of a cardiac incident, significantly improving survival chances.
The beauty of AEDS is that they’re easy to use, even if you've never had training. With clear voice prompts and simple instructions, anyone can help in an emergency. In short, having an AED nearby makes your office safer and gives everyone peace of mind, from patients to staff.
Buy an AED for Your Dental Office
When picking an AED for your dental office, go for one that’s reliable, easy to use, and built to last. Look for features like clear voice instructions, visual prompts, and low maintenance—these make a big difference when you need it most. A compact design is key, too, so your AED fits easily into your space without getting in the way.

Should All Dental Offices in Canada Have an AED?
Requirements for AEDs in dental offices vary across provinces, but one thing is clear: having one on hand can save lives. Every 12 minutes, someone in Canada experiences sudden cardiac arrest, and an AED can dramatically improve their chances of survival.
Beyond legal mandates, investing in an AED is a smart, proactive step. These devices are designed to be safe and easy to use, even for those without medical training. By having one in your dental office, you're not just prepared for emergencies—you’re also reinforcing your commitment to patient safety and care.
Where Should an AED Be Placed in a Dental Office?
Your AED should be placed in a visible, easy-to-reach spot, like the reception area or a central hallway in your dental office. Consider where emergencies are most likely to happen, such as treatment rooms, and ensure staff can grab the AED quickly without any obstacles.
It’s also important that everyone on the team knows where it is and gets regular training on how to use it.
