NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: California dentists can now perform Botox and dermal filler procedures for dental esthetic and dental therapeutic uses. Dr. Louis Malcmacher, president of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE), was asked to present to the California Dental Board in August of this year on the use of Botox and dermal fillers in dentistry.
The board took the matter up at the November meeting where it heard other perspectives as well and considered comments received in a public session from groups such as the California Medical Association, California Dental Association and California Academy of General Dentistry.
“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,” Malcmacher said. “Now Botox and dermal fillers in California 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 they are 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 percent of these procedures done in the oral and maxillofacial areas.”
California now joins the majority of states that allow dentists to do Botox and dermal filler procedures for dental esthetic and dental therapeutics.
The AAFE is a Dental Board of California registered provider for continuing education and has this same status in many states where it offers its full two-day live patient hands-on Botox/Dysport and dermal filler training for dentistry.
