Dental anesthesia for children

A new law, HB 1577 was passed in New Hampshire that affects dental anesthesia for children. While the majority of the law focuses on requirements related to how the anesthesia should be administered and who actually administers it, there is a small section that changes the age for insurance coverage of anesthesia for children under age 6 to children under age 13.  This change became effective in August 2018.
