Botox coming to a dentist near you?

Botox injectable treatment to the face

Botox could soon be put into widespread use by dentists according to worldental.org.

Information originally published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune states that Botox has already been successfully used in American dentistry procedures, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) complications.

The treatment, most commonly used in the cosmetics industry, is gaining more popularity in the dentistry industry.

Michael Skadron, a Doctor of Dental Surgery has suggested that, because of the rigorous studying of facial muscles that dentists are required to study, they are in a strong position to administer the treatment.

Use of Botox in dental treatments is currently restricted to a state to state basis.

Currently, dentists in the state of Minnesota can freely apply Botox in dental treatments; whilst in states such as California and Nevada, general dentistry professionals are prevented from doing so – allowing only for skilled professionals to undertake the application process.
