Dentists already work in the lower face, which makes injectables a natural area of interest. Whether and how you may use them is set by dental law and board rules, not by a training certificate. This page explains how to check that first, then which of our courses accept dentists.
Confirm scope before you enroll
Dental scope for injectables is set by the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners and Arizona dental law. A course teaches technique. It does not expand what your license allows. Before you enroll, ask the board (or an Arizona healthcare attorney) what is currently permitted for your license, and what prescriber involvement, if any, applies to the products you plan to use.
What good training for a dentist includes
- Facial anatomy beyond the oral cavity, including vascular danger zones.
- Hands-on injection with live patients, under supervision, not only demonstrations.
- Complication recognition and management, including vascular occlusion and hyaluronidase.
- Consent, documentation and a clear understanding of scope of practice.
Courses open to you
Eligibility is set course by course; each course page lists who can attend. See all 19 on the tuition and comparison page.
Questions
Can a dentist inject Botox in Arizona?
That depends on dental law and the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners’ current rules. Confirm with the board before you enroll or treat.
Does a Botox course change what my license allows?
No. A certificate shows you completed training. Your license and the applicable rules set your scope.
Which courses accept dentists?
The Botox Beginner course, the Botox + Filler Combo and the Advanced Botox + Filler Combo (with prior injectable experience) list dentists as eligible. For other courses, ask us first.
Do I need prior injection experience?
Not for the beginner course. The advanced combo requires prior neuromodulator and filler experience.
