Our highly experienced dentists in Lakewood, CO, use BOTOX therapeutically to help patients struggling with TMJ discomfort, teeth grinding (bruxism), and jaw tension. While most people associate BOTOX with cosmetic treatments, its medical applications are well-studied and highly effective, especially for muscle-related pain.
How It Works
BOTOX works by gently relaxing the overactive muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. When these muscles are constantly in motion (especially at night) they can cause various issues, such as:
- Jaw pain
- Tension headaches
- Tooth wear
- Cracked fillings
- Sleep disturbances
A few small, targeted injections allow the muscles to rest, which can bring significant relief within just a few days.
