I support general dentists administering Botox/Filler
 

General dentists should be permitted to administer Botox and Filler with appropriate training.  Dentists actually are the most qualified medical profession to administer Botox/Filler because of our extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, muscles, and nerves.  We also routinely administered intraoral injections.  There are many states that currently allow general dentists to administer Botox/filler.  It is time for Virginia to become one of these states.
