What Is Dental Botox?
Dental Botox is a treatment method used to reduce the excessive activity of jaw muscles and to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. It is administered through injections of botulinum toxin.
How Does Dental Botox Work?
Botox is a protein injected into the jaw muscles, temporarily blocking and relaxing them. This helps reduce activities such as teeth clenching, thereby reducing pain, fatigue, and other symptoms.
Who Can Receive Botox Treatment?
Dental Botox can be used in various conditions such as those experiencing temporomandibular joint pain, bruxism (teeth grinding), and those seeking to correct jaw aesthetics. However, it should be evaluated by a dentist or specialist before application.
