(1) nitrous oxide;
(2) level 1: minimal sedation;
(3) level 2: moderate sedation (enteral administration);
(4) level 3: moderate sedation (parenteral administration); and
(5) level 4: deep sedation or general anesthesia.
(b) A dentist may not administer anesthesia unless the dentist obtains the appropriate permit issued under this section.
(c) The board shall set and impose a fee for issuance of a permit in an amount designed to recover the costs of regulating a permit holder under this subchapter.
(d) The board shall coordinate the times at which a permit must be renewed with the times at which a dentist's license must be renewed under Chapter 257 so that the times of registration, payment, notice, and imposition of penalties for late payment are similar and provide a minimum of administrative burden to the board and to dentists.
