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 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 necessary regulatory framework to be established before dentists can begin administering botulinum toxin under the new guidelines.
