Sedation Permitting Support

NovaSed offers comprehensive dental sedation permitting support, allowing you to focus on patient care without worrying about administrative and regulatory complexities. Let us help you create a top-quality, stress-free environment for your patients.

Addressing Dental Sedation Challenges with Confidence

Expanding your dental practice to include sedation can significantly enhance patient comfort and satisfaction, but the permitting process in North and South Carolina can feel like a hurdle. While dentists performing only local anesthesia or nitrous oxide-based sedation don’t require a permit, those who offer advanced sedation in their practice must hold a valid sedation permit even if they aren’t the ones administering it. 

The Sedation Permitting Process Step-by-Step

For many dentists, permit requirements raise concerns about the additional time, costs, and administrative demands involved. The idea of adding new compliance tasks can seem overwhelming, especially when balanced with maintaining patient care at the highest standards. Yet, with the right support, the sedation permitting process can be straightforward and stress-free, allowing your practice to thrive without sacrificing the quality of care.
