  • Why should I bring my team? Do they need to be certified to offer IV sedation dentistry?

    "I brought with me some of the team including 2 hygienists and our assistant mgr – all who have been with the practice before I became partner and who are extremely reluctant to new things. I sat at lunch today listening with amazement to have them tell me things we need to do in order to implement this into our practice! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I will be sending the rest of the team to this course!"
    -Karen Harriman, DDS

    DOCS Education considers the dental team a vital part of good patient care and urges every dentist to bring at least one staff member to courses. States differ in their sedation regulations - Visit www.SedationRegulations.com to learn more.

    In most dental offices team members play an essential role; they ready the equipment--including masks and tubing--prior to the dentist's administration of nitrous oxide. It's imperative that they be knowledgeable about the process to better serve the patient and the dentist.

  • Does insurance cover IV Sedation?

    Many dental insurance carriers will pay for sedation. Again, there is wide variability in this area.

  • Can I say “sleep dentistry” in my advertising?

    NO. A general anesthesia permit is required before you can say “sleep dentistry” in your advertising. An I.V. permit only authorizes you to administer conscious sedation or moderate sedation, depending in which state you practice. In those states, it would be proper to say “sedation dentistry” instead.

  • Where can I meet requirements?

    To learn more about DOCS Education's wide range of courses visit our Continuing Education section or www.SedationRegulations.com, which lists the latest regulatory developments. We particularly encourage membership in DOCS Education, which offers round-the-clock personal attention from the nation's leading legal authority on dental regulations.
