Improve Your Health with BOTOX
Although BOTOX is more widely known as a cosmetic treatment, it has been adapted into dentistry to provide a wider range of benefits for patients facing smile concerns.
We are happy to provide BOTOX in Chelan, WA at Chelan Family Dentistry to help address temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. The treatment is easy and convenient, giving you the relief you are looking for almost instantaneously.
How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX works by blocking nerve signals from reaching the muscles. Because the muscles will no longer be able to contract, this loosens fine lines and wrinkles, or relaxes the muscles that may otherwise cause you discomfort. The injection is safe for most patients and stays around the injection site unlike some other treatments or medications that may affect the whole body.
BOTOX for TMJ Treatment
To soothe TMJ pain, BOTOX can be directly injected into the chewing muscles, the source of your discomfort. This causes partial paralysis of the muscles, providing an alternative solution to treat your TMJ pain that is both safe and convenient. This can often provide faster, more reliable and long-lasting relief for patients, as compared to medications.
