An Act enabling trained dental hygienists to administer dermal fillers and botox

This bill proposes to allow trained dental hygienists in Massachusetts to administer dermal fillers and Botox injections. Under the new rules, these hygienists would need to complete specific additional training approved by the state board and must always work under the direct supervision of a dentist. The legislation explicitly prohibits hygienists from performing these procedures independently, ensuring a dentist is always present to oversee the treatment. This change aims to expand access to cosmetic procedures by utilizing the skills of dental hygienists while maintaining strict safety standards.
