It includes required credentials, application processes, and on-site evaluations for personnel, facilities, equipment, and records. Dentists administering general anesthesia or deep sedation must meet specific criteria, and may be exempt if they are board-eligible or board certified in dental anesthesiology or oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dentists must also be trained in pediatric advanced life support and airway management.
