A Denver-based opinion writer has published an article that is critical of a proposal to make it even more difficult for Colorado dentists to offer safe, effective, oral sedation dentistry.

Writing July 6th for Examiner.com, Denver Business Commentary Examiner Dean Rotbart, notes that "the facts don't support the need for any change to existing Colorado dental regulations." 

Rotbart says that a few, self-interested members of the Colorado State Board of Dental Examiners are placing their own financial interests above the health of the public at large.

"The answer is to trash these unnecessary and restrictive proposed changes to the State regulation," the columnist writes.  "What is good for Colorado consumers is to make going to a safe, licensed, oral sedation dentist as easy and convenient as running to Albertson's for milk and a bottle of aspirin."
