Neurotoxins in Dentistry: Aesthetic Enhancements and Therapeutic Protocols

Wednesday, November 5, 2025
5:00 pm PST / 8:00 pm EST

Inject new life into your practice with neurotoxins.

Botulinum toxin therapies are increasingly utilized in dentistry, leveraging the dentist’s advanced understanding of head and neck anatomy. Presented by DOCS Education and Dr. Timothy Hess, this exciting program will introduce the integration of botulinum toxin into dental practice, with emphasis on both aesthetic applications (perioral and facial balance) and therapeutic use (management of myofascial pain and parafunctional habits).

Attendees will gain insight into clinical protocols, patient selection, and treatment planning to safely incorporate neurotoxins as adjunctive procedures into your dental practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the pharmacology, mechanism of action, and safety profile of botulinum toxin as it applies to aesthetic and therapeutic dental procedures.
• Identify common clinical indications for neurotoxin use in aesthetic dentistry.
• Review potential treatment of myofascial pain and bruxism.
• Apply fundamental principles of evaluation, dosage, and injection technique.
• Learn how to achieve predictable outcomes while meeting patient expectations.
