This week the Dental Board of Australia issued two new interim policies, regarding use of Botox and teeth whitening or bleaching. Whilst advising that it will continue to monitor both products, the board says the policies have been issued as an interim measure.
The board’s Botox policy supports the use of botulism toxin (Botox) by registered dentists with education, training and competence for the treatment of Temporomandibular joint disorder/dysfunction. If you are seeking Botox for the treatment of wrinkles and ageing skin, search for ‘VCI.com.au botox melbourne‘ to find a clinic in Melbourne who can provide such treatment.
“The issues surrounding the use of botulism toxin (Botox) and dermal fillers are complex and the regulatory environment that existed across states and territories prior to the commencement of the national registration and accreditation scheme varied.,” the board said in announcing the policy.
Similarly, when announcing the policy on teeth bleaching, the board said, “The issues surrounding teeth whitening/bleaching are complex and the regulatory environment that existed across states and territories prior to the commencement of the national registration and accreditation scheme varied.
However, its policy states, “Teeth whitening/bleaching, is an irreversible procedure on the human teeth and any tooth whitening/bleaching products containing more than six percent concentration of the active whitening/bleaching agent, should only be used by a registered dental practitioner with education, training, and competence in teeth whitening/bleaching.”
