A member asked:
If general dentists can use botox, etc., as personal appearance enhancers why cannot chiropractors do the same, or are they?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chiropractors no Rx: In dental school, dentists took courses in head and neck anatomy and are taught how to administer anesthesia and different blocks. If the dentist has had the proper training to become comfortable with administering Botox then why not? Chiropractors’ scope of practice is restricted to manipulation and they have some very limited prescription privileges, whereas dentist can.
