BOTOX®
How Does BOTOX Provide Pain Relief?
BOTOX relieves pain caused by TMJ disorders and "freeze" facial muscles to prevent jaw tension, clenching, and teeth grinding. Relaxing these muscles helps relieve pain in the jaw, neck, and shoulders and reduces the occurrence of migraines and headaches. It can also help protect teeth from damage due to pressure or grinding.
BOTOX for Facial Aesthetics
Another use for BOTOX is to enhance the facial appearance by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Many people successfully use BOTOX injections to create a younger look and increase their confidence in their appearance.
If you’re interested in BOTOX, please contact us to schedule an evaluation. We will thoroughly examine your situation to determine the cause of your jaw pain or teeth grinding and begin treatment.
We look forward to welcoming you to our dental practice.
