BOTOX® Aesthetics and TMJ Pain
Do you suffer from TMJ-related pain or headaches? Would you like to turn back time on facial lines and wrinkles? You may be surprised to learn that the solution in either case is BOTOX®.
At Skyway Dental Clinic, we believe in helping you look and feel like the best version of yourself. While BOTOX® is well-known for its aesthetic benefits, it is also an effective treatment for TMJ-related pain, offering our patients a dual advantage.
Understanding BOTOX: Function and Versatility
BOTOX is a purified protein used to relax muscles, which can significantly reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and alleviate pain associated with TMJ disorders. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected, preventing them from contracting, leading to a smoother, more youthful facial appearance and a reduction in pain symptoms.
Dentists are uniquely qualified to administer BOTOX, thanks to their extensive study of facial anatomy and experience with precision injections. At Skyway Dental, Dr. Maggie Thompson and Dr. Krishna Katira have advanced training in administering BOTOX, ensuring every treatment is delivered safely and comfortably, tailored to your individual needs.
BOTOX for TMJ Pain Relief
TMJ disorders can cause a range of disruptive symptoms, from jaw pain and headaches to difficulty chewing and opening and closing your mouth. BOTOX can be an effective solution, providing relief from the intense muscle tension associated with TMJ.
Alongside BOTOX, we often incorporate additional therapies such as night guards or stress reduction techniques, crafting a comprehensive treatment plan for enduring relief.
