More Than Just Aesthetics – Find Relief With BOTOX®

BOTOX® has become an effective tool for addressing a range of therapeutic concerns, beyond its well-known cosmetic applications. In dentistry, BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) offers relief for patients dealing with conditions like facial pain and muscle tension. This minimally invasive treatment can help alleviate symptoms caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, chronic migraines and bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching).

How Does Therapeutic BOTOX Work?

When injected into targeted muscles, BOTOX temporarily blocks nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions. This relaxation of overactive muscles reduces pain and tension, offering relief to patients. For TMJ disorders, BOTOX can ease jaw pain, headaches and limited jaw movement. Similarly, for bruxism, it helps prevent excessive clenching, which can damage teeth and cause jaw soreness.

BOTOX For Chronic Migraines

For those struggling with chronic migraines, BOTOX can make a significant difference. By injecting the medication into specific areas around the head and neck, it reduces the frequency and severity of migraine episodes. This targeted approach provides lasting relief and improves quality of life for many patients.

BOTOX for TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause significant discomfort, including jaw pain, headaches, earaches and difficulty chewing. BOTOX has become an effective treatment option for managing TMJ-related symptoms. By injecting BOTOX into the jaw muscles, the medication relaxes overactive muscles that contribute to pain and tension. This relaxation not only alleviates discomfort but can also improve jaw mobility, making it easier to eat, speak and perform daily activities without pain. BOTOX for TMJ disorders is particularly beneficial for patients who have not found relief through other treatment methods, such as oral appliances or physical therapy. The procedure is noninvasive and tailored to your specific needs, targeting the areas most affected by muscle tension. With regular treatments, patients often experience long-term relief from TMJ-related symptoms.

What to Expect During Treatment

Therapeutic BOTOX is a quick, outpatient procedure typically completed in under 30 minutes. There are no incisions, stitches or significant recovery time involved. Most patients experience minimal side effects, such as mild redness or tenderness at the injection site, allowing them to return to daily activities immediately.
