Why You Shouldn’t Book Injectables Right Before, or Just After, a Dental Appointment

By Mona Entezari, Aesthetic PA-C

Thinking about scheduling your injectable appointment right after a dental visit? You may want to hit pause. In this helpful video, Mona Entezari, PA-C at Yag-Howard Cosmetic Dermatology, breaks down why timing matters when it comes to dental procedures and cosmetic treatments like fillers, biostimulators, and even laser resurfacing.

From routine cleanings to root canals and implants, dental work can introduce bacteria, increase inflammation, and alter facial anatomy—making it more difficult to achieve precise, predictable results with injectables. It can also increase your risk of rare but serious complications like biofilm formation or filler migration.

Mona explains how long to wait before and after your dental appointment, what types of treatments are affected, and the simple steps Yag-Howard takes—like pre-treatment mouthwash—to help lower your risk.
