For Dentists (DDS/DMD)
Add Botox® to your dental practice for both therapeutic care — TMJ, bruxism and orofacial pain — and facial esthetics. IAPAM’s training is online and in-person, taught by board-certified dermatologists, with live-patient hands-on practice, CME, and the Certified Aesthetic Provider (CAP) credential.
One of the most natural ways for a dental practice to add clinical value and cash-pay revenue.
The Opportunity
No other provider is better positioned to add injectables than a dentist. You already own facial and perioral anatomy, you deliver precise injections every day, and you see a steady base of patients who trust you. Botox® lets you treat conditions you already diagnose — jaw tension, clenching, orofacial pain — and, where your state permits, offer facial esthetics chairside. IAPAM shows you how to add it safely and profitably.
Know Before You Train
Dental scope of practice turns on why you’re injecting — therapeutic versus cosmetic — and it’s set by each state Board of Dentistry.
Most state dental boards allow dentists to use Botox® therapeutically — for TMJ disorders, bruxism and clenching, and orofacial pain — because these fall squarely within dentistry’s head-and-neck domain. For many dentists this alone is reason enough to train.
Purely cosmetic treatment (forehead lines, crow’s feet) is where states differ. New Jersey and Pennsylvania explicitly permit dentists to offer cosmetic Botox®; California limits dentists to therapeutic use; New York restricts dentists to oral areas. Rules change, so confirm yours.
Because dental Botox® rules are set state by state — and updated periodically — check your own state Board of Dentistry before you begin treating patients. IAPAM’s training helps you understand where your scope begins and ends. Read: Botox® certification requirements by state →
Scope rules vary, but the clinical skills don’t. Your IAPAM training and Certified Aesthetic Provider (CAP) credential are recognized nationally, so the technique and certification you earn apply wherever — and however — your state allows you to practice.
State examples are for general guidance only and can change — verify current requirements with your state Board of Dentistry.
Botox® complements the dentistry you already do — and opens new cash-pay treatments.

In most states, yes — most state dental boards allow dentists to use Botox® therapeutically for TMJ disorders, bruxism and orofacial pain, since these fall within dentistry’s head-and-neck domain. Purely cosmetic use is more restricted and varies by state. Always confirm your scope with your state Board of Dentistry. See Botox® certification requirements by state.
It depends on the state. New Jersey and Pennsylvania explicitly permit dentists to offer cosmetic Botox®; California limits dentists to therapeutic applications only; New York restricts dentists to oral areas. Verify current rules with your state Board of Dentistry.
