Understanding the regulatory landscape and opportunities for dentists in sclerotherapy.
Scope of practice for dentists performing sclerotherapy varies significantly by state. Some states have expanded dental practice acts that may allow dentists to perform certain aesthetic procedures, while others restrict dentists to traditional dental procedures. It's essential to verify your state's dental board regulations and consult with legal counsel before adding sclerotherapy to your practice. AAOPM can provide guidance on navigating these requirements.
For dentists in states that allow expanded aesthetic procedures, sclerotherapy can provide additional revenue streams beyond traditional dentistry.
Your dental training provides excellent injection skills, fine motor control, and patient management experience—all valuable foundations for sclerotherapy procedures.
Work with your state dental board and legal counsel to ensure proper licensing, insurance coverage, and compliance with all applicable regulations.
Many dentists are expanding into aesthetic medicine, combining facial injectables, vein treatments, and other procedures. Sclerotherapy training can be part of a comprehensive aesthetics education that complements your existing dental practice or helps you transition into a dedicated medical aesthetics focus.
Receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion with 8.0 CME credits. This certification demonstrates your competency in sclerotherapy procedures and may be required for malpractice insurance coverage.
