Dentist offered to throw in a Botox treatment with my dental work. He said many dentists offer Botox these days. Is it ok/wise to get Botox from a dentist?
Answer: Dentist Injecting BOTOX
I feel that I can speak to this question readily. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I am also a Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. It is true that facial anatomy is easily understood by the practicitioner trained in dentistry but GENERAL dentist rarely if ever venture outside of the mouth. I feel strongly that GENERAL dentist should not inject BOTOX. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons on the other hand have much more extensive training (surgical) training than the general dentist and it is not unreasonable for Oral and Max. Surgeons to inject BOTOX. Having said all of this I believe that Plastic Surgeons are uniquely qualified surgical medical specialists to inject BOTOX. Plastic Surgeons ROUTINELY provide BOTOX for patients as opposed to Oral and Max Surgeons who may casually provide this service. MOST importantly well trained board certified Plastic Surgeons are capable of handling the complications (either medically or surgically).
