Dental Anesthesiology
Dental anesthesiology is the specialty of dentistry that deals with the advanced use of general anesthesia, sedation and pain management to facilitate dental procedures.
In the United States, a dentist anesthesiologist is a dentist who has successfully completed an accredited postdoctoral anesthesiology residency program of three or more years duration, in accordance with the Commission on Dental Accreditation's standards or meets the eligibility requirements for examination by the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology.
United States and Canada
Dental Anesthesiology is a recognized specialty of dentistry in both the United States and Canada. The American Dental Board of Anesthesiology (ADBA) examines and certifies dentists who complete an accredited program of anesthesiology training in the United States or Canada. Dentists may then apply for board certification through the ADBA which requires ongoing and continual post-graduate education for maintenance.
The American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists is the only organization that represents dentists with three or more years of anesthesiology training.
Dental Anesthesiology was the first specialty of dentistry to be recognized by both the American Board of Dental Specialties and the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards.
