(3) The dentist must take four (4) hours of continuing education every 2 years to stay current on sedation/general anesthesia techniques, patient risk assessment courses, new medications, improved monitoring devices, and any other developing trends to insure that current knowledge and competency are maintained so that sedation/general anesthesia can be most safely provided.
