Best Answer

A dental hygienist may work on a patient who has taken a low dose of relaxant as described above and then requires nitrous oxide during the dental or dental hygiene procedure under the indirect supervision of a dentist. However, in this situation, the dentist must administer the nitrous oxide and also have a Minimal Sedation permit.
