I'd be the same, don't know why you'd want to go to a dentist specifically for botox. Is it way cheaper with dentists?

ballsymchugh

there's plenty of dentists that do it, although dermadental is dermal only now. that's if she's still about.
as for why a dentist, apparently it's justified by the amount of injections given a day. a steady hand with a needle around the face helps!

Dentists doing botox?? Whats the all about?...don't know if I'd be into that ( haven't had botox though.....yet;))

ballsymchugh

there's plenty of nurses and beauty therapists doing it too, even though they may have never held a syringe before. it's a very simple thing to do. it's just expanding the client base for them.

chocgirl

I can see why a dentist or beautician would be keen to buy into it, it's the client I'm wondering about, is it considerably cheaper? I've never had botox so not familiar with prices.

ballsymchugh

it should be cheaper than a dermatologist. that's as far as i know though!

So reassuring. NOT!!!!

Yes I can see the benefit to them (expanding client base etc). But I can still see no reason why I would go to a dentist for botox or to someone who has never held a syringe before (even if apparently "it's a very simple thing to do")

Call me old-fashioned but this seems to me like a sure fire way of not being happy with the results.

Don't want to end up looking like this: :eek:

Whaaaaaaat? There is nothing "simple" about administering botox injections. You can cause irreversible nerve damage if you don't know what you're doing.

You need a medical licence to purchase and administer botox, i.e. you must be a nurse or doctor (a dentist falls into the doctor category). And for good reason.

No way in hell would I let a beautician inject me with botulism.

ballsymchugh

the 'not having held a syringe before' was mainly aimed at beauty therapists. there's a hell of a lot of anatomy to know even between the nose and the chin (and everywhere else) that beauty therapists have no idea about, even though they'd have no problem injecting into it.
eth0 thanks, what you said reminded me that most dentists that actually do 'facial rejuvenation' use collagen, which is def not botox. my apologies. the dental indemnity companies do cover botox now though.
i did go to a demo for fortelis one evening and there were a few dentists, along with some dermatologists and a nurse who worked in a homeopathic setting, which i thought was pretty odd.

Went there recently, she's still in business by the way ballsymchugh and not just doing dental stuff either. I had my Botox done for my frown lines. All good. I have no issue with dentists doing Botox (no way for beauty therapists!), it all comes down to training I think, and Danielle at Dermadental is fab.

ballsymchugh

what i meant was that dermadental's website contains very little info on actual dentistry. it's just a shame to spend 5 years in college to come out and only do bleaching.

I got a text from my dentist yesterday to say they are now doing Botox.. http://www.ratoathdental.ie/ ...

They probably broke the Data Protection Acts so. Check out www.dataprivacy.ie for more information if you want to follow this up.

Nurses are not allowed to administer Botox in Ireland, only a dentist or doctor can administer Botox as it is a POM (prescription only medicine). I would agree with ballysymchugh that Dentists are ideal to inject Botox as they have huge experience with injections, a steady hand and also their knowledge of head and neck anatomy is better than any other clinical discipline.

As mentioned not only is Dr Danielle Meagher a really gentle injector but she has become so busy with her own botox practice in the past 3 years that she sold the Dental part of the business because they have already expanded the Derma (Botox etc) three times already in the past number of years. The only thing though is that unless you are an existing patient you may have to wait up to 4 months for an appointment!!!!

In addition she went on to complete a 2 year masters in Aesthetic Medicine so as well as having the busiest Botox practice in Ireland she is also the most qualified in my mind to carry out these treatments.

If anyone is interested in pain free Botox just go to www.dermadental.ie. She is called Dr G for Dr Gentle - she is also really lovely and her team are so good - but it can be hard to get an appointment but if you ask for Nikki her private secretary she will always try and do her best to fit you in and once you are an existing patient they always find a spot for you even if it is on their lunch.

Best of luck and I think your comment about a 'waste of training' is really silly but you probably didn't realise that she had gone on to specialise and her own practice is limited to just facial aesthetic treatments - sure Allergan the makers of Botox are always flying her all over the world to different conferences....she is very much top of her game and apparently she is the biggest client of Allergan in ireland which doesn't surprise me because all my friends go to her because she really is so gentle and so lovely and we all look amazing - she is fab fab fab!

Your posts seem to indicate some 'inside knowledge' of this business sector. Do you work in this area? Do you have any connection to this clinic?

Hiya Dani. how's things?? and no, i still stand over what i said, although what you quoted wasn't actually a quote, so as for silliness...
as mentioned before, there are plenty of beauty therapists around the country doing collagen fillers that didn't have to go back to college either.

Cheers, thank for the bump. Shills should be punished buy not letting threads die. Shilling looks so bad when caught that it actually put people off. Its shameful especially for a professional. Also to claim specialist status for a part time course is misleading.
