Dentists who are members of
FDSA receive permits from the Florida State Board of Dentistry to
provide conscious sedation, deep sedation, or general anesthesia
based upon their training. This training is most commonly part of
an advanced post-graduate education program such as a general
practice residency, oral and maxillofacial surgery residency,
periodontal residency, or dental anesthesiology residency. Also,
conscious sedation training may be obtained after completion of
dental training by completion of a rigorous continuing education
program which includes supervised patient treatment.
