I am a freelance writer working on an article about Botox and general dentistry for a dental trade magazine. I'm interested in talking to general dentists who are opposed to the use of Botox in a dental office. If you have time for a brief phone or email interview please contact me. Thank you!

Why not let us give the botox injections? We have more head and neck training than most M.D.'s. Botox also is not permanent.

She has a history of receiving Botox in her cervical region as a treatment for migraines. She claims she has gradually lost some of her ability to swallow, resulting in night time aspiration and several bouts with pneumonia. She stopped taking Botox for six months. We successfully treated her TMD and migraines with a neuromuscular orthotic. She can now swallow. Are we prepared, as denists, to deal with the legal ramifications of Botox rteatments?

I was interested in the TMD therapy and some of the other uses. When I heard from the course directors that I could not participate in the hands on portion of the class because I was from California, I cancelled. I think Dentist's are just as qualified if not more than most MD's for this type of procedure (in the oralfacial area), maybe not for crows feet, Blepharospasm, Dystonia, Strabismus, Hyperhidrosis, etc. I had actually signed up to take a course in Las Vegas a few years ago.
