3. Botox is therapeutic for chronic facial, head, and neck pain. We are certified to perform this service, and covered under the Dental Practice Act to deliver this care.

4. Many medical doctors are trained by dentists on how to give painless injections. The comfortable numbing Dr. Rafoth provides for dentistry is the same for Botox and dermal filler treatments.
