Do you have fine wrinkles you’d like to erase, or do you suffer from pain caused by jaw clenching or teeth grinding? Botox may be right for you, and it’s a safe and effective procedure when done by a qualified dentist.
When you hear Botox, you may think of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, but did you know your dentist at My Dental Touch Studio is certified to administer Botox? Dentists are highly educated in facial anatomy and, with additional training, are qualified to administer Botox. They can help you learn about the cosmetic and medical benefits of the treatment during an examination.
Botox injections help relieve:
-
Migraines and headaches or jaw and neck pain
-
Pain from TMJ and TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder)
-
Discomfort from teeth grinding (bruxism)
In addition to easing discomfort, Botox gives patients a more youthful appearance by relaxing the face. The safe injections may also help patients with a high lip line to achieve a more beautiful smile.
