Can a dentist administer Botox?

Yes. Anybody can do anything they can get their hands on. Then again, I don't pull teeth, and in my opinion, injecting Botox constitutes the practice of medicine! Why do that when there are many qualified physicians in appropriate subspecialties who can help you? Also, I doubt their malpractice would cover them, and if something went terribly wrong, your damages could exceed their assets.
