This email is written for a request to reconsider the change in the provision for minimal sedation.  There are no states with a minimal sedation provision this restrictive.  The ADA guidelines, also, do not have a provision as restrictive.

This provision will take away an option to many patients who seek comfort and anxiety relief from the dental environment.  It will deter patients from seeking care for simple routine treatment which will eventually lead to more invasive and costly procedures in the future.
