Botox for TMJ and related therapeutic uses.
Request AppointmentBotulinum toxin (Botox) is not just for fixing wrinkles! Botox naturally relaxes the muscle, and when used therapeutically in dentistry it can help manage issues like gummy smiles, clenching, teeth grinding, headaches and TMJ disorders.
Therapeutic Botox Process
Evaluation
At your evaluation the doctor will discuss your concern and palpate muscles that may be responsible for dental complications, pain or trigger points.
Diagnosis
The doctor will review the areas of concern and the dental complications they may be causing. A treatment plan will be presented and you'll be encouraged to ask questions.
Treatment
Treatment is quick and requires no numbing. The Botox is delivered with tiny insulin-type syringes.
Follow Up
After 2 weeks you'll be seen for a follow-up visit to confirm adequate muscle relaxation was achieved.
