How can Botox® & wrinkle relaxers be used in dentistry?
Botox is frequently used in dentistry to treat a number of dental concerns, such as clenching, grinding, excessive chewing forces, jaw tension, gummy smiles, and more. When left untreated, many of these conditions can lead to inflammation of the TMJ, fractured teeth, and headaches. Beyond function, dental Botox can be used to balance facial features and enhance the final results of your smile makeover.
About Botox® treatment for TMJ pain
TMJ pain most frequently occurs when the chewing muscles are overworked. Oftentimes, this happens involuntarily or at night while you’re sleeping. To combat this, Botox for TMJ can be administered to relax these muscles. As muscle activity decreases, patients quickly notice reduced jaw soreness and tension.
About Botox® being used to treat bruxism
Bruxism is the unconscious clenching or grinding of your teeth. Whether you’re in a stressful season of life or have always struggled with bruxism, Élan offers Botox for teeth grinding to alleviate symptoms and reduce the excessive force placed on your teeth when clenching or grinding. In some cases, one treatment is sufficient, but for more severe, chronic cases, ongoing treatment may be recommended.
- Frequently Asked Questions
Can a dentist do Botox?
Yes, dentists use Botox and facial fillers for both cosmetic enhancement and therapeutic dental purposes. By combining advanced knowledge of facial anatomy with personalized care to improve function and symmetry, dentists are exceptionally well-equipped to administer Botox.
How often do I need injections for TMJ pain?
Every patient’s level of TMJ pain is different and the rate each patient’s muscle activity returns varies. On average, Botox for TMJ pain can last between 3-4 months, but some patients experience longer periods of relief and can prolong additional treatment.
Botox vs. night guard for grinding, which is best?
Both Botox and nightguards are ideal treatment options for teeth grinding, but determining which is best depends on the severity. If your nightguard has holes from use or frequently needs to be replaced, consider using dental injectables to reduce excessive jaw tension.
Is dental botox safe?
The Élan team is committed to safety, and choosing a Botox dentist who specializes in dental injectables to administer your Botox enhances both safety and outcomes. In addition to being safe, Botox can improve oral health and prevent irreversible damage to your teeth and restorations caused by bruxism.
