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

This bill (HD 855) allows dental hygienists to administer Botox and dermal fillers under a dentist's direct supervision, after completing specific training approved by the state board. It directly affects dental hygienists seeking to expand their scope of practice and patients seeking these cosmetic treatments. The key provision requires hygienists to complete the same additional training as dentists for these procedures, and they cannot perform them independently without a supervising dentist present. The law modifies existing regulations to permit this expanded service within dental settings.
