Botox® Therapy

Relief for Jaw Pain, Headaches, and Teeth Grinding

As experts in the face and mouth, dentists understand that jaw pain, teeth grinding (bruxism), and headaches can come from many different sources. That's why we take a comprehensive approach to evaluating your symptoms and identifying the underlying causes.

Botulinum toxin (Botox®) can be used as a gentle, non-surgical option to help relieve discomfort related to muscle tension. It works by relaxing overactive muscles that may be contributing to clenching, grinding, jaw pain, and certain types of headaches.

Many patients notice improvement in symptoms such as jaw soreness, facial tension, and grinding or clenching habits. Treatment is quick and customized to your specific needs following a thorough evaluation.

It's important to know that Botox is not a cure, but it may provide temporary relief for some patients. Results vary and typically last a few months. Ongoing treatment may be recommended as part of your overall care plan.

As with any treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. The most common are mild and temporary, such as slight soreness or bruising at the injection site. We will review all risks, benefits, and alternatives with you before treatment.

If you are experiencing jaw discomfort, frequent headaches, or clenching and grinding, we invite you to schedule a consultation to see if this treatment may be right for you.
