| Oral Sedation |
 |
| New Jersey State Board of Dentistry Rule §13:30-8.4(f) requires a dentist to complete at least 40 hours of university-based didactic training and obtain a permit before administering oral conscious sedation to their adult patients.* |
|
| * When the intent is Anxiolysis only, a permit is not required. |
|
| March 4, 2009: NYU's 40-hour 'New Jersey Enteral Sedation at NYU' course is approved by the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry as meeting the 40-hour university-based didactic training requirement for the NJ enteral sedation permit. |
|
Permit renewal: You are required to renew your enteral sedation permit every 2 years.
DOCS Education's 24-hour 'Oral Sedation Dentistry' course is approved by the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry for the 20-hour CE requirement for renewal of your enteral sedation permit. This course is now available in Atlanta. |

| Pediatric Sedation |
|
| Sedation dentistry for children is a unique science and requires pediatric-specific training. The standard of care for providing pediatric sedation requires several hours of instructive classroom training with clinically-oriented experiences. This training is available in Atlanta.

| Why Do Oral Sedation? |
|
An estimated 4 Million people in New Jersey are currently in need of dental care but are too fearful to seek you out. To date, access to care for these patients has been limited. Now you can help.
|
|
Practicing oral sedation has many advantages for you, not the least of which is treating a more comfortable patient. Other advantages are: performing more dentistry in a single visit instead of having the patient come back again and again; bigger restorative cases from patients who were previously reluctant due to anxiety; and patients feeling little to no post-operative discomfort regardless of the procedure - resulting in more referrals.
And for your patients it means something else. A comfortable experience - often with no recollection of the visit or the time passed. I often hear of patients who call their dentist the next day not to complain, but to express their gratitude and delight in their first ever visit to the dentist without fear.
