BOTOX for DENTAL PAIN
Symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions include headaches, earaches, and jaw pain. Patients who have severe grinding habits and are unable to tolerate a night guard may greatly benefit from Botox injections, which alleviate the tension in the TMJ and provide relief from the headaches experienced as a result of grinding. Botox is also beneficial for patients who are prone to cracking teeth as a result of grinding, and can help stop you from continued unconscious grinding and clenching habits.
