Section VI - Sedation

6-(a) Sedation Assessment

• Dentists can claim for a completed sedation assessment for both adults and children even if the patient does not proceed with treatment or you determine that they are not suitable for treatment within primary care.

6-(b) Sedation

• A fee is claimable for each appointment in which the patient receives sedation in connection with NHS dental treatment.
• A sedation fee is only claimable where the patient receives NHS treatment in that appointment and cannot be claimed in connection with the provision of private treatment.
• Sedation fees are only claimable for intra-venous or inhalational sedation and not for oral sedation.
