Hi @Mark Suliman -

It is my understanding that the law is 2 people per bedroom plus 1 in my state, but not sure if that is across all states.  Definitely check and maybe someone from Florida will pipe in.  

There is a difference from what you like to allow and what the law allows.  I hope the dentist went well!
