What is one requirement for a DDS with a sedation permit?

Complete a written examination
Take an advanced cardiac life support course
Complete a 10-hour training seminar
Attend the annual sedation conference

The correct answer is: Take an advanced cardiac life support course

A requirement for a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) with a sedation permit is to take an advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) course. This is essential because sedation can carry risks, and having knowledge and skills in managing potential complications, especially related to cardiac events, is crucial for patient safety. ACLS training equips dental professionals with the necessary tools to respond effectively in emergency situations, thereby ensuring a higher standard of care during sedation procedures. The other options do not capture the specific and critical requirement of ACLS training that emphasizes readiness to handle emergencies that arise from sedation. While written examinations, seminars, and conferences may contribute to a DDS's overall education and understanding of sedation practices, they do not specifically focus on emergency response capabilities, which is fundamentally important for patient safety when sedation is administered in dental practice.
