Background: Medical urgencies and emergencies require immediate attention and competent management by dentists and their teams. Having a proper emergency medical kit to support management of these situations is essential. Types of Studies Reviewed: A review of the available literature was performed, including peer-reviewed articles, American Dental Association (ADA) Commission on Dental Accreditation standards, ADA website articles, and publications from professional societies. Results: An emergency medical kit is a key component of a well-designed medical emergency response system in a dental practice. Initial and regular training sessions to optimize dentist and team member knowledge, skills, and experiences are essential to maintaining emergency preparedness. A description of modern predoctoral emergency medical training is provided. Practical Implications: Dental schools and practices should carefully assess their emergency medical kits, training, and protocols to ensure a system is in place to initiate evaluation and management of acutely unwell patients.
