What it does
The Dental Practice Act provides for the licensure and regulation of dentists by the Dental Board of California. The act governs the use of general anesthesia, conscious sedation, and oral conscious sedation for pediatric and adult patients. The act makes it unprofessional conduct for any dentist to fail to obtain the written informed consent of a patient prior to administering general anesthesia or conscious sedation. With respect to a minor, the act also requires that the written informed consent include a specified statement that, among other things, encourages the parent or guardian to explore all the options available for a child's anesthesia for his or her dental treatment.
