What is Botox?

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, is a manufactured injectable medication used to reduce the strength of specific muscles. This helps to prevent unwanted skin wrinkles and discomfort caused by overactive muscles. Botox is carefully administered in small amounts to relax the muscles. Extensively researched, Botox has been proven to be safe and effective for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.

At our dental practice in Florida, we are proud to offer Botox treatments, which are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures nationwide. With a high satisfaction rate, Botox effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and helps to relieve muscle tension and headaches.

Botox treatment for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)

Known for its ability to reduce facial wrinkles without surgery, BOTOX® injections are also a beneficial treatment for TMJ disorders. By injecting BOTOX into the facial muscles, relief can be provided for TMJ disorders and jaw tension. If you are interested in exploring BOTOX as a treatment option for your TMJ disorder or jaw pain, schedule an appointment at Smiland Dental.

What makes Botox a preferred treatment option for TMJ disorders?

The TMJs, located on each side of the head where the jawbone connects to the skull, experience a lot of strain, particularly during speaking and eating. Excessive stress, clenching of the jaw, and grinding of the teeth can lead to inflammation of the TMJs, resulting in discomfort.

Injecting Botox into the facial muscles can temporarily paralyze them, reducing the likelihood of excessive clenching and grinding. This treatment can help alleviate headaches, pain, and prevent premature tooth wear.
