How Does BOTOX for Bruxism Work?
Our BOTOX treatment begins by strategically placing the solution in the masseter muscles, which are the main chewing muscles along either side of your jaw. The fluid alleviates the tension and neutralizes involuntary actions like clenching your teeth. Our BOTOX treatment is reliable and safe, and it will not impair the proper functionality of your jaw, so you will be able to eat and speak like normal. Your body will metabolize the treatment over the following weeks or months, so routine appointments are usually required to alleviate the pain and keep your symptoms under control. Most people require treatments every three to six months.
Our BOTOX Treatment Process
The moment you walk into our dental office, you know that you're a priority. Our friendly team will take the time to get to know you, discuss your symptoms, and actively listen to fully understand your concerns and goals. We begin with a gentle and complete exam to determine if you're clenching or grinding, or if your symptoms are due to a more serious TMJ disorder, and if combining BOTOX with another treatment will be an effective solution for you. Our team carefully crafts a treatment plan that is customized to meet your unique needs. This may include a referral to a TMJ specialist for more severe cases.
BOTOX FAQs
We understand that selecting the treatment that is right for you is an important choice. That is why we encourage you to share your questions and concerns. Our team is happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision regarding your oral health. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about treatment with BOTOX.
How long does BOTOX last?
The longevity of your treatment is determined by how quickly your body breaks down BOTOX. For many people, this treatment may last for 3-6 months. Our team will provide tips and instructions so you will know when it's time to schedule another appointment so you can enjoy continued relief from jaw tension.
How do I maintain my BOTOX treatment?
While you can't prevent your body from breaking down the solution, you can take steps to make it last longer. It's best to avoid massaging or rubbing the injection site for at least 48 hours after treatment because this will displace the solution and reduce its effectiveness.
Does BOTOX hurt?
No. You may feel a slight pinch when we administer the BOTOX, but the solution that the treatment consists of is not painful.
Do you offer BOTOX as a stand-alone treatment?
We do not offer it as a stand-alone service. Our BOTOX services are incorporated into a full treatment plan consisting of multiple solutions.
