When most people think of Botox, they often associate it with cosmetic procedures aimed at reducing the signs of aging. While Botox is widely recognized for its beauty benefits, its medical uses, especially in dentistry, have recently gained attention. Dental Botox is an innovative treatment that not only enhances aesthetics but also provides relief from a variety of dental and facial pain issues. This approach has proven effective in addressing conditions such as TMJ disorders, bruxism, jaw pain from clenching, and headaches caused by dental stress. Administered in our relaxing, spa-like practice, dental Botox offers a minimally invasive solution that prioritizes both comfort and effectiveness for our patients.
Dental Botox: How It Works, and How Long Does It Last?
Botox in dentistry is a simple, minimally invasive procedure where a small amount of Botox is injected into specific muscles. Botox works by blocking nerve signals from reaching the muscles, which prevents them from contracting. The procedure itself is quick and requires little downtime, making it convenient for many patients. While the effects of Botox typically last for a few months, the muscles gradually return to their normal function over time. It’s important to note that Botox injections for dental purposes should be performed only by licensed and qualified dentists to ensure safety and effectiveness. At Newtown Dentistry, Botox is administered by Dr. Maggie Rosenberger. Dr. Rosenberger is Certified by the American Academy of Facial Aesthetics in Botox Treatment and TMJ Orofacial Pain Therapy.
