Important Information on Botox and Dermal Fillers
As a Dental professional you need to be certain of the specific exclusions on your Professional Liability policy.
Botox and Dermal Fillers are a "hot topic" amoungst Dentists and Insurance companies over the past few years. Some insurance companies have adapted to allow a minimal amount of procedures however, even more companies have opted to exclude any type procedures outside of the tyical scope of dentistry.
All policies are not the same, be sure you know what your coverage offers!

Lynn. Thanks for this information. Clearly, any dentist who is performing these procedures should check their insurance policies as well as their specific state licensing guidelines.

I feel very happy to saying that “smile, you glance in a superior way” a smile is a path of communicating without saying any real words but it has an impact no words can match.
