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®.
