I support the amendment
 

I support a change in the rules to allow general dentist to administer Botox to their patients, with documented approved training.

I think it would be beneficial  to many patients that exhibit traits of aggressive bruxing. Currently, we offer Bite splints, night guards or sleep apnea appliances to prevent damage to the meniscus and teeth. This large population of patients condition could  improved with periodic administration of Botox to the masseter, in conjunction with aforementioned approptiate  appliances.

Best Wishes,
