Dental Botox is a medical treatment that uses botulinum toxin safely in the facial muscles to treat certain dental and muscle problems.

How Does Dental Botox Work?
Botox relaxes overactive muscles in the jaw. This helps reduce muscle spasms and tension, which lowers pain and improves movement.

When Is Dental Botox Used?

• To treat jaw muscle spasms or teeth grinding (bruxism), which can damage teeth and cause jaw pain.
• To relieve TMJ disorders (problems with the jaw joint), which cause pain and difficulty opening the mouth.
• To reduce large jaw muscles for cosmetic reasons (face slimming).
• To improve chewing function or muscle problems in some cases.

Benefits of Dental Botox

• Reduces pain caused by muscle tension.
• Prevents tooth damage from grinding.
• Non-surgical and quick treatment.
• Effects last 3 to 6 months, allowing doctors to adjust treatment as needed.

Summary
Dental Botox is an effective medical option to treat muscle and jaw problems related to teeth. It helps improve comfort and quality of life. If you have teeth grinding or jaw pain, ask your dentist if Botox treatment could help you.
