relative to the use of general anesthesia, deep sedation, and moderate sedation in dental treatment.

HB 470 regulates the use of general anesthesia, deep sedation, and moderate sedation during dental procedures. It directly affects dentists performing complex treatments and their patients requiring sedation. The bill would establish specific guidelines for when each sedation level may be used, ensuring patient safety during dental care. It does not change current dental licensing requirements but sets new standards for sedation administration practices. The bill is currently under review by the relevant committee.
