Botox Help Relieve IN BOULDER, CO

Will Botox Help Relieve TMJ Pain?

Botox® is commonly used in cosmetic surgery, however, more recently, TMJ specialists have been exploring its use for treating disorders and dysfunctions related to the temporomandibular joint. There are a number of treatment options for addressing TMJ, including at-home remedies, as well as more extensive procedures such as surgery. Botox® falls in the middle, being more involved than a simple ice pack or over-the-counter medication, but not as invasive as a surgical procedure.

How Botox works for TMJ

When Botox is used to treat TMJ symptoms, the process is relatively easy compared to other options. To start, the TMJ specialist will inject the Botox into the temporalis, frontalis or masseter, all of which are common sites that can help appropriately disperse the Botox agents. A gentle massage may be given afterward, which can help spread the Botox out, thus reaching the pain points.
The appointment typically takes less than 30 minutes and can be repeated up to three times over the course of three to four months. Depending on the severity of the pain associated with the TMJ disorder, the specialist may recommend further injections after the initial three.
Botox works to relieve TMJ pain by targeting the joints and muscles that have been affected. This usually includes the jawbone, oral cavity and temporomandibular joints themselves. Once it reaches these areas, the Botox agents work to relax and loosen up any tension that has built up due to the malfunction, thus resulting in less overall pain.

The result of Botox for TMJ pain will likely not last forever. Over the course of treatment, the TMJ specialist will take special note of how well the patient reacts to the injections. If the reaction is positive then repeated injections may be done until the symptoms remedy. However, if Botox is not effective then the TMJ specialist may recommend a more extensive treatment plan, which may include a surgical procedure. Additionally, it is good to know that Botox is not known to be harmful to the body, however, long-term use is not recommended for any reason, whether it be related to TMJ or cosmetic purposes.

Finding a Botox® Dentist

When considering Botox to treat TMJ disorder or dysfunction, it can be helpful to consult with a dental professional who specializes in TMJ treatment. Questions can be answered and an evaluation can be done in order to determine the appropriate course of action, which may include Botox®.

Ricky Reinert is my husband..he doesn’t have any account liable for leaving a comment…..so I will. We would highly recommend Peak View for all of your orthodontics or dental needs. From the beginning when requesting information on implants, Ashley contacted him quickly, and answered all of his questions, while making his appointment. We went to the appointment, and we’re blown away at the customer service that we received starting at the front desk. The ladies were professional, and kind. Then Ashley took over as our appointment began and explained everything in full detail. She was the sweetest, and smiled the entire time. She made us feel as we were the most important people on the planet. You can tell that she absolutely loves her job, and genuinely care about her patients. The doctor was amazing as well, extremely knowledgeable, and had the ability to make us feel at ease with the procedure my husband was about to embark on. Plus the pricing is unbelievably affordable!!! Most places were charging upwards of $25,000-$30,000 for one arch, so when we came across Peak View, we thought it was too good to be true…but it wasn’t!!! They are truly a blessing, and will be changing our lives in so many ways….we cannot be more grateful for this opportunity, and to work with amazing staff that care about my husband needs….thank you Peak View!!!!

Dr K and the rest of the staff at Peakview Dentistry are simply the best! You just can’t get better service in Boulder! From the warm welcome at the front desk to the comprehensive service that Dr K offers in his office, you can see that he and his staff really love what they do.

I literally travel with my entire family FROM Australia to go to this clinic for ALL of my dental AND facial care. I wouldn’t trust ANYONE else!!! Plus, now they’ve added an esthetician to their staff (Wendy) and not only do I walk out with amazing teeth, my skin looks better too!! Wendy did an amazing job with my PRF, laser, and microderm treatment. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and does a perfect job explaining everything! From the ease of scheduling, to the warm greeting when you arrive, the friendly smiles throughout my visit and the confidence knowing I’m getting the best care, this is hands down the best clinic in ALL of Colorado!
