Anesthesia Permit Renewal CE Requirements
Anesthesia Permit Renewal Requirements
Anesthesia permits are renewed at the same time the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (TSBDE) dental license is renewed. A portion of the annual renewal fee includes the fee for renewal of anesthesia permits.
Anesthesia privileges are documents in the lower left-hand column of the Annual Registration Certificate. There is no separate paper permit issued for anesthesia privileges annually.
Continuing Education Requirements
A dentist seeking to renew an anesthesia permit must complete the following hours of CE once every two years on the administration of the permitted level of sedation or medical emergencies associated with the permitted level of sedation. CE requirements shall be in addition to any other courses required for licensure. ACLS and PALS courses may be used to fulfill the CE requirement when not being taken for the renewal of the anesthesia permit. Dentists should maintain a copy of their continuing education materials for their records and be prepared to provide them to the TSBDE upon request.
