S.B. No. 1117 amends the Occupations Code by adding Section 258.0531, which allows dentists to administer botulinum toxin for aesthetic purposes in the oral and maxillofacial regions. However, this practice is contingent upon the dentist completing a board-approved training course on the administration of the neuromodulator. Additionally, the State Board of Dental Examiners is tasked with adopting the necessary rules to implement this new provision by December 1, 2025.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, providing a timeline for the board to establish the required regulations before the law is enacted. This legislation aims to expand the scope of practice for dentists while ensuring that they are adequately trained in the administration of botulinum toxin.
