Anesthesia
Anesthesia Permit
If you have not yet completed the anesthesia evaluation requirement and you practice under your dental degree, please contact Carolyn Hardnett at the Georgia Board of Dentistry at 478.207.1686. You may also access their website for the application at www.sos.state.ga.us.
If you practice under your medical degree, please contact Dr. Antwan Treadway at 770.941.2476 who will arrange for that evaluation to be completed.
New Rules for General Anesthesia
The Georgia Dental Board has provided us with new rules for anesthesia. They are as follows: The dentist must take four (4) hours of continuing education every two (2) years in pharmacology, anesthesia, emergency medicine or sedation as part of the forty (40) hour requirement for license renewal to maintain certification for the deep sedation/general anesthesia permit. Certification of this continuing education must be submitted at renewal.
The same rule is in effect for the Enteral and/or Combination Inhalation/Enteral Conscious Sedation permit and the Parenteral Conscious Sedation permit.

License by Credentials
License by credentials is now available in Georgia. Practitioners with licenses in other states, who have been in practice for 5 years are eligible. This will allow our members, who are practicing on their medical licenses, to obtain dental licenses and then therefore also general anesthesia permits.
