I am surprised it hasnt’ been mentioned that a critical part of our education is spending many hours in gross anatomy tracing nerves, veins, arteries and muscles of the entire head and neck, as well as the rest of the body. Who better knows the head and neck than MD’s, DMD’s or DDS’s? I feel we are the most qualified and I would rather have someone with that realm of education delivering Botox injections than some assistant who was given a short course on how to place the injections.

I’ve seen too many dental procedures “rushed” because of lack of time, either from added emergencies to the schedule or just trying to squeeze as many procedures into a day as possible. These people went into dentistry with the intent to heal…many patients are already concerned about paying high prices for what may be “unnecessary” procedures. By offering Botox, the practice may reinforce that speculation by many.

While dentists DO focus on healthy teeth and gums, why NOT offer to patients the benefits of a healthy appearance. After all, isn’t that what bleaching, veneers, etc. all about?
With proper training, there is NO valid reason DDS or DMD shouldn’t be allowed to administer Botox and Restylane.

People who have not been to Dental or Med school are doing it daily as assistants or nurses in a day spa!
