Drs., I am writing to voice my strong opinion on what your proposal to limit our sedation options. Oral Sedation has been proven to be one of the safest modalities. The ADA guidelines and the commonwealth states don't have as restrictive guidlines that you are proposing. My whole team has been ACLS certified and I have gone to mulitiple DOCS courses to prepare us for oral conscious sedation. Our patients feel that this is a hugh benefit for them. Frankly, some of them wouldn't be seeing a dentist unless this is an option. These are the dental and needle phobic patients that depend on being sedated to have their work done.  I am taking time to write you for you to please reconsider your proposal. This would impact so many of my needy patients. 

Sincerely, Dr. Kim Kitchen
