I support dentists administering botox/fillers
 

I am in support of dentists being able to provide botox and fillers in the state of Virginia.  Many states already allow this.  These therapies can provide adjunct clinical benefits relevant to dentistry both therapeutically and cosmetically.  Dentists are well versed in facial anatomy and we are already comfortable doing injections in the mouth.  With proper training, dentists would probably be more competent and conscientious than many providers who are presently allowed to do these procedures.
