If your going to point the blame…point it in the proper direction.
The only reason Allergan is being blamed is there’s the chance the family could make more money off of them by suing. Why sue a doctor when you can get more money off a company thats willing to pay you off so you’ll shut the hell up?

Actually, Botox is an excellent treatment for TMJ. Ironically, in California an R.N. could perform the injections, but not a Dentist…I find that odd. Personally, I’d do it in a heartbeat, I’m sick of my face being lopsided and if my dentist could do it, I wouldn’t hesitate. Then again, I’m a self-proclaimed Guinea pig.

Fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra and Radiesse are more of an art form as opposed to Botox which requires a fairly decent amount of muscle structure knowledge. I’d certainly hope that a Dentist would qualify on both accounts.

Get off the fence, take a trip West and I’ll let you practice on me.

There is a movement among dentists (specifically oral and maxillofacial surgeons) to inject botox and dermal fillers like Restylane. The debate falls into the interpretation of each individual state’s Dental Practice Act. Would you feel comfortable having your dentist perform this ervice for you?

I’m on the fence.

And it hurts my butt.

No one likes to follow the rules, but everyone likes to put the blame elsewhere. It’s 21st century human nature!
