“QCC provided me with the knowledge and
skills to be confident and efficient in the
administration of local anesthesia while using a
patient comfortable delivery technique. I work for a
perio practice and having the L-Permit has allowed
me to manage my patients’ level of pain
independently, without interrupting the doctor’s
patient care. It has been mutually beneficial for both
the doctors and me and I have received positive
feedback from my patients who have been both
receptive and supportive.”
- Nadine Donahue, RDH

“I feel empowered by this new skill and that
I can offer a more comfortable overall experience for
my patients. I honestly have had more than one
patient tell me that I gave the easiest injection they
ever had. This is due to the excellent techniques I
learned at QCC and I recommend that any hygienist
who is interested in taking their career to the next
level, invest in this course.”
