How Dental Botox Treatment Works
In the world of dentistry, though, Botox serves a different purpose. While the majority associate it with tightening the muscles of the face, it can also be used to lessen the pain caused by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Botox can be used to treat painful medical conditions such as:
Reduce the chronic trauma that pathologic clenching does to your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissue through low doses of Botox.
Diminish the limitations caused by spastic muscles, including your ability to eat, brush, floss, and receive dental care.
Decrease the symptoms associated with bruxism, which is a condition characterized by unconscious teeth grinding and clenching.
Excessive gum tissue that shows when you smile tends to cause oral hygiene and cosmetic issues. Small doses of Botox injections limit muscular over-contraction of your upper lip and reduce exposure of your upper gums when you smile.
TMJ can cause jaw pain, difficulty chewing, clicking and locking of the jaw joint, and other pain and discomfort. Botox treatments can simply relax the muscles associated with the jaw area, providing efficient pain relief.
