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

This bill would allow trained dental hygienists in Massachusetts to administer dermal fillers and Botox under the direct supervision of a dentist. To qualify, dental hygienists must complete additional training in these procedures that is equivalent to what dentists receive and approved by the state board. The law explicitly prohibits dental hygienists from performing these injections without a dentist present. This change expands the scope of practice for dental hygienists while maintaining oversight by licensed dentists.
