A licensed dentist with this permit can administer upto a class three or class four anesthesia.
Class Three: Deep sedation is an induced state of depressed consciousness in which the patient experiences a partial loss of protective reflexes as evidenced by the inability to respond purposefully to either physical stimulation or to verbal command but the patient retains the ability to independently and continuously maintain an airway.
Class Four: General anesthesia is an induced controlled state of unconsciousness in which the patient experiences complete loss of protective reflexes as evidenced by the inability to independently maintain an airway, the inability to respond purposefully to physical stimulation, or the inability to respond purposefully to verbal command.
Permit levels are cumulative; a person who has a Class 4 Permit may administer any level of anesthesia; a person who has a Class 3 Permit may induce Deep Sedation, Conscious Sedation or just nitrous oxide; a person with a Class 2 Permit may administer Conscious Sedation or nitrous oxide.
