The Concerned Dentists of Wisconsin, a self-titled group, claim that the proposed changes, which align with 2016 American Dental Association guidelines, would “only drive patients away, especially lower-income patients who often are most in need of sedation dental care.”
The new rule would grandfather in dentists who already have oral sedation permits, a fact CDW cites as proof that current rules don’t put patients at risk.
The group has created an online petition and is asking for signatures from other Wisconsin dentists.
