Dental practice offering Botox

I have been thinking of changing dental practices. Mine merged with another and my fab dentist left :(

There is one very near me, all big and shiny but looking at their website they do Botox too. Is this weird for dentists (I assume) to offer Botox?

    Whether it's weird or not would be a matter of opinion. But it is quite common.

    At least a dentist has spent years studying the anatomy of the face, which is more than can be said of some other providers of Botox.

    However the important thing in choosing a dentist is recommendation from others and that you are comfortable with them .

    Find out where the dentist you liked gone and follow them
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    I tried but they went to work with special needs people so not accessible to me I'm afraid.

    Mine does something along the same lines. I've just had a look on the website and they do Dermal fillers - is that Botox?

    I suppose if you go for this sort of thing then Botox along with a nice smile goes hand in hand.

    my dentist does botox and fillers as well
    so does a few around this way, as another poster mentioned best going to a dentist who knows a bit more about the face than a beautician who has done a 1 day course

    i went to my (now) dentist for botox whilst keeping my old dentist but when he retired i changed to my dentist as it kills 2 birds with one stone, i get a longer app and get my check up and botox done at the same time
