What is the maximum duration for temporary approval to administer moderate conscious sedation before site inspection?

The maximum duration for temporary approval to administer moderate conscious sedation before a site inspection is 90 days. This provision allows dental practitioners to begin using sedation techniques while still ensuring that the appropriate regulatory and health standards are met through an inspection. The 90-day period offers a balance between allowing practitioners to start providing services and ensuring that safety protocols are evaluated in a timely manner. The time frame is set to ensure that there is a prompt follow-up to confirm that the facilities and practices comply with applicable laws and regulations related to patient safety and infection control.
