64B5-14.005 Application for Permit.
(1) No dentist shall administer, supervise or permit another health care practitioner, as defined in Section 456.001, F.S., to perform the administration of general anesthesia, deep sedation, conscious sedation or pediatric conscious sedation in a dental office for dental patients, unless such dentist possesses a permit issued by the Board. A permit is required even when another health care practitioner, as defined in Section 456.001, F.S., administers general anesthesia, deep sedation, conscious sedation, or pediatric conscious sedation in a dental office for a dental patient. The dentist holding such a permit shall be subject to review and such permit must be renewed biennially. Nothing herein shall be read to authorize the administration of any anesthesia by a health care practitioner who is permitted to administer anesthesia pursuant to their own professional license. All dentists in a practice who perform the administration of general anesthesia, deep sedation, conscious sedation or pediatric conscious sedation shall each possess an individual permit. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prohibit administration of anesthetics as part of a program authorized by Rule 64B4-14.003, F.A.C., or any other educational program authorized by Board rule, for training in the anesthetic being administered, or pursuant to a demonstration for inspectors pursuant to Rule 64B5-14.007, F.A.C.

(a) No change.
(b) Documentation of actual clinical administration of anesthetics to 20 patients within two (2) years prior to application of the particular type of anesthetics for the permit applied for.
(3) Prior to the issuance of such permit, the Board may, at its discretion, require an on-site inspection of the facility, equipment and personnel will be conducted pursuant to Rule 64B5-14.007, F.A.C., to determine if the requirements of this chapter have been met.
