Oral sedation dissent goes against the ADA Standard of Care
 
In regards to others claiming that the changes to minimal sedation and the concern that patients will be restricted in their access to care because of the restrictive regulations. These updates are simply conforming with the already established standard of care from the 2016 ADA update to the sedation guidelines. By not updating these regulations to include this terminology, we are stating that Virginia dentists should be allowed to practice below the ADA stated standard of care.
