There are different reasons that people may wish to have Botox injections administered by a trained professional, sometimes it's for medical issues, and other times it's simply to enhance the appearance of the patient. Those who are certified to administer Botox are specially trained to do so, as there are strict rules when it comes to who has the qualifications to administer it, and generally a physician is recommended to deliver it. Injections may also be delivered by other certified medical professionals like nurses, when a doctor is supervising.
The question of whether dentists are qualified for the prescription and administration of botox treatments has been brought up lately. Many considerations are made while determining the qualifications, and part of that are the laws of the state where it is administered.
We will examine this in closer detail.
Which are the points in question?
The proper training must be taken, as dentists who deliver botox are bound by the same guidelines as other medical personnel. While these treatments are not extremely complicated like some procedures such as brain surgery, an elaborate knowledge of the anatomy is essential to deliver the injections safely and effectively. The certified practitioner must be able to treat and reduce the side effects that sometimes come with treatments.
Basically, when the necessary training is completed a dentist should be approved for botox injection treatments and of course, prescribing the treatments. .
Dentists and botox injections
At this time, dentists are approved for botox injections in most states in America. There is a difference between standard injections for cosmetic reasons, and the way botox is administered. A dental plan in the state of California would permit a dentist to treat myofascial conditions with botox, the Dental Board of California certifies this. It is not however legal for a dentist to use botox to treat cosmetic issues. The Facial Cosmetic Surgery Permit is the authority who regulates this kind of treatment. Botox injection procedures in Georgia require that facial anatomy and specific methods be learned in a 21 hour long course that the board has approved.
Dentists who have completed the necessary training involved for cosmetic injection are newly allowed because of approval from the Massachusetts Board of Dentistry in that state.
Botox injections by dentists have different requirements according to the particular state involved, patients must look at the rules in the state for themselves. But overall, it appears that there is a growing trend of approving dentists to now inject botox for cosmetic purposes.
The arguments in question
Some debate is happening presently for and against dentists being approved to cosmetically treat patients using botox injections. There are those who feel that dentists do not have the same level of knowledge of facial anatomy as plastic surgeons have, and talk is happening on medical forums about this topic. Some state boards recommendations are partly in line with this, that dentists should only perform botox treatments for purposes related to dentistry.
Dentists, on the other hand, have a different opinion, they say that their understanding of maxillofacial and facial anatomy is highly advanced, making them qualified to administer botox, as much or more so than some doctors. It would appear that this argument will continue on for years to come.
Conclusion
The number of patients requesting botox treatments seems to be surpassing the ability of medical professionals to deliver them, due to rising demand. The restrictions by state boards for delivering botox are being updated all the time, and dentists are now being sought out to perform the injections.
