I recently attended a two-day continuing education seminar and learned how to administer Botox® for frown lines and other facial wrinkles. If I incorporate this into my practice, will I be covered?

There are continuing education (CE) providers promoting the use of Botox or derma fillers for treatment within the dental office. Although a CE provider may state that performing this treatment is within the scope of a dental license and suggests professional liability carriers cover this procedure, it does not necessarily mean it is true. When dentists who are not permitted oral and maxillofacial surgeons use Botox to improve patients’ smiles or to reduce their brow furrows, they are practicing outside the scope of dentistry.

Dentists, however, have used Botox to alleviate pain related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD). But, this is rarely the first choice of treatment for TMD as there are little data available to support long-term effects. Consider attempting treatments such as a soft diet, physical therapy, splint therapy and medications before resorting to Botox to treat TMD.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
