Why go to a dentist for Botox?
Dentists are the ideal practitioner to distribute the treatment to their patients over other physicians or professionals. Dentists specialize in the oral and maxillofacial areas at a level higher than any other practitioner, which is why they make optimal candidates for administering Botox. The extensive training they go through regarding these areas (head, neck, and facial region), as well as the fact they have everyday experience injecting cranial nerves in sensitive areas of the head makes them so. They are also much more familiar with the overall complications that can arise in the facial areas than any other healthcare provider; meaning they will have a more comprehensive understanding of how to treat and remedy any problem that should emerge. Unlike other practitioners of Botox, they prioritize proper lip to teeth ratio, how the smile reacts, and how the teeth relate to the soft tissue surrounding the injected areas. By letting your dentist administer Botox, you will feel more confident thanks to their encyclopedic knowledge of you and your facial muscles.
Dr. Melevsky completed Botox training at both Tufts Dental School and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. He received hands-on training for both fundamental and advanced Botox injections. In both courses, there was in-depth coverage and extensive information taught on precautions, protocols, treatments, and drafting up the ideal facial rejuvenation plan for different types of patients.
