6605-A - Dental Anesthesia Certificate.

§ 6605-a. Dental  anesthesia  certificate. 1. A licensed dentist shall
  not employ conscious sedation, deep sedation or  general  anesthesia  in
  the  practice  of  dentistry,  at  any  location  other  than  a general
  hospital,  without  a  dental  anesthesia  certificate  issued  by   the
  department.
2.   The   commissioner  shall  promulgate  regulations,  establishing
  standards  and  procedures  for  the  issuance  of  certificates.   Such
  standards  shall  require  completion  of  an educational program and/or
  course of training or experience sufficient to ensure that a dentist  is
  specifically   trained  in  the  use  and  administration  of  conscious
  sedation, deep sedation  or  general  anesthesia  and  in  the  possible
  effects  of such use, and in the recognition of and response to possible
  emergency situations.  Such regulations may also establish standards and
  safeguards for the use of conscious sedation, deep sedation  or  general
  anesthesia.
3.  Nothing  in  this  section  shall  limit  a dentist's use of local
  anesthesia, a dentist's use of nitrous oxide, or a dentist's use of  any
  other  substance  or  agent  for  a  purpose  other  than achieving deep
  sedation, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia.
4. The fee for a dental anesthesia certificate shall  be  one  hundred
  dollars  and  shall  be  paid  on a triennial basis upon renewal of such
  certificate. A certificate may be  suspended  or  revoked  in  the  same
  manner as a license to practice dentistry.
