Botox for TMJ Disorders and Grinding

"Therapeutic Botox treatment in dentistry is becoming increasingly popular for treating the following conditions: Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Botox injections can be used to alleviate muscle pain, tension, and spasms associated with TMJ disorders. By targeting specific muscles around the jaw, Botox helps relax them, reducing pain and improving jaw function. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Botox injections can effectively reduce the intensity and frequency of teeth grinding (bruxism). By injecting Botox into the masseter muscles, which are responsible for jaw movement, the muscles become relaxed, preventing excessive grinding and clenching. Treatment of Temporal Headaches: Botox injections can also be used to alleviate temporal headaches that result from muscle tension or bruxism. By targeting specific muscle groups, Botox helps relax the muscles, reducing headache symptoms."
