Dental Sedation Permit Applications
S.C. Board of Dentistry Sedation Permit Application Information
On November 27, 2017, the South Carolina Board of Dentistry will begin accepting applications for Moderate Parenteral/Moderate Enteral and Deep/General Anesthesia Permit Applications. Full wording of the sedation regulations are posted on the Dental website under "Laws/Policies" at https://llr.sc.gov/bod.
When submitting a permit application, please visit the Dental Board webpage at https://llr.sc.gov/bod for access to applications and forms. Click on "Applications and Forms" in the gray box on the right side of the webpage. Detailed instructions for completing the sedation forms and required documentation are given on each sedation permit application. If you have questions while completing the permit application, you may contact the Dental Board office at 803-896-4599, or you may submit your questions by email to Contact.Dentistry@llr.sc.gov on the Dental Board website.
Once you have completed the sedation application and the required documentation has been received and verified, you will be notified by an LLR inspector of the date and time of the onsite dental office inspection. All locations where sedation will be provided must be inspected and a permit granted. If you are a new applicant who is applying to practice dentistry in this state and offering dental sedation services, you must have an office inspection prior to providing sedation services. Other inspections will be scheduled systematically, but an inspection will not be required to continue existing services. Existing practitioners, however, do need to timely apply for a permit.
Dental practitioners, who are not administering anesthesia themselves but are providing anesthesia for their patients by bringing in outside anesthesia personnel into their dental office, must meet the requirements as noted in the Dental Sedation Act and accompanying regulations, including the requirement to have equipment onsite in accordance with the same.
