Dentists can now perform Botox and dermal filler procedures

Dentists can now perform Botox and dermal filler procedures for dental esthetic and dental therapeutic uses. "The bottom line is that Botox and dermal fillers are allowed within the scope of dental practice for use by general dentists for dental esthetic and dental therapeutic uses with appropriate training and trusted botox certification", said Dr. Malcmacher.

Dr. Malcmacher continued, "Now Botox and dermal fillers in New York by dentists is just like any other area of dentistry and will be treated as such. No special statement is necessary from the board allowing Botox and dermal fillers because it is like any other dental procedure, as long as they are being used for dental esthetic and dental therapeutic uses which is what we teach in our courses and relates to 99% of these procedures done in the oral and maxillofacial areas."
