Going to the dentist can be stressful. What can happen? What if something goes wrong and there is an emergency? Rest assured all practicing dentists are licensed under the Canadian Dental Association which regulates emergency preparedness in their Clinic. All dental professionals are required to participate in annual or bi-annually CPR training as well as be equipped with the right medical emergency medications. This is where LIGHTHOUSE plays an important role.

LIGHTHOUSE is a brand owned by HANSAmed Limited. LIGHTHOUSE is part of the emergency preparedness line that assures clinics are current and up to date with emergency preparedness medications according to their governing body requirements.

When clinics purchase a LIGHTHOUSE medical emergency kit, it comes with all the necessary items and equipment to overcome a basic medical emergency within the clinic as well as assurance to both the patient and the clinician.

Each medication in the emergency kit holds a different expiration date. For dental professionals, it is hard to track these dates to keep them current as they are busy with other priorities within their practice. To help clinics in this respect, HANSAmed Limited takes on this responsibility. In addition to selling the medical emergency kit, HANSAmed Limited tracks each individual medication in the kit, monitors the expiration dates, and replenishes the medication prior to expiration.

Each medical emergency kit is part of a batch production which has a unique batch code. This code helps HANSAmed Limited in tracking each clinic's expiration date. This also helps in case there is a drug recall — a voluntary action taken by a company at any time to remove a defective drug product from the market.
