11     and current permit issued by the Department to administer
12     either general anesthesia, deep sedation, or conscious
13     sedation as required under Section 8.1 of this Act.
14     This Act does not authorize the advertising of dental
15 services when the offeror of such services is not a dentist.
16 Nor shall the dentist use statements which contain false,
17 fraudulent, deceptive or misleading material or guarantees of
18 success, statements which play upon the vanity or fears of the
19 public, or statements which promote or produce unfair
20 competition.
