An Act To Establish Additional Requirements For Dentists To Administer Botulinum Toxin And Dermal Fillers

This bill requires Maine dentists who administer botulinum toxin (e.g., for wrinkles) or dermal fillers (e.g., for facial volume) to complete additional training and follow specific patient consent steps. Dentists must finish at least 8 hours of accredited training covering head and neck anatomy, patient safety, and hands-on practice for each substance. Before treatment, they must review the patient’s medical/dental history, conduct a clinical exam, and obtain informed consent. These requirements apply only when the administration is part of a dental treatment plan for a diagnosed condition, not for general cosmetic use.
