The announcement, if made by a general dentist, shall indicate that he or she is a general dentist.

(d) Dentists who wish to perform botulinum toxin or dermafiller procedures shall submit documentation to the board that demonstrates completion of at least 8 hours of hands-on training prior to performing such procedures.
