Hygienists administering Botox: A good or bad idea? with Sarah Crow, RDH
Should dental hygienists be allowed to deliver Botox and fillers? Some see it as an exciting growth opportunity, while others worry it could put patients at risk.
This week on Dentistry Unmasked, David and Pam sit down with Sarah Crow, RDH, past president of the Massachusetts Dental Hygienists’ Association, to unpack the debate. Sarah makes a compelling case for the “Botox Bill” in Massachusetts, shares how she’s advocating for change, and what it could mean for the future of dentistry.
