BOTOX® is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think “dentist.” However, more and more dental practices are offering BOTOX injections for good reason. Dentists are highly trained in facial structure and muscle dynamics, making them ideal therapeutic and cosmetic BOTOX treatment providers.
BOTOX—a purified form of botulinum toxin type A—works by relaxing targeted muscles, reducing the frequency and range of their movements, and, as a result, the strain that leads to discomfort or damage. On the cosmetic side, BOTOX can smooth fine lines around the mouth, reduce frown lines, and even enhance the appearance of your smile by balancing lip movement. From a medical perspective, BOTOX can help relieve:
- Jaw tension and TMJ pain
- Chronic headaches related to teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism)
- Facial pain from muscle overuse
BOTOX treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require no downtime. And because dentists understand how facial muscles affect oral function, they can deliver precise, natural-looking results!
