I am knowledgeable about anesthesia as I have been a PACU/Recovery Room RN for over 20 years.

Thank you, you are correct, but in a dental office is different...the dentist is knowledgeable but his staff would not have your training...monitoring blood pressure...also, dental offices may not have equipment if something goes wrong. Also his insurance cost would be high. In a hospital it is quite different. To be honest, I saw an elderly man die in the chair because of equipment...things happen. The bottom line, local is best...unless in hospital.
