Botox® – TMJ

Our Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a joint located on each side of our jaw and is involved with chewing, talking, opening our mouth etc 

Over time as we age, arthritis, teeth grinding/clenching, jaw injuries, etc can cause pain and tenderness in our jaw joints along with our surrounding muscles/ligaments.  

Symptoms of TMJ/TMD include;
–       Jaw or jaw joint pain or tenderness 
–       Ear pressure, pain or tinnitus
–       Jaw muscle stiffness
–       Neck and shoulder pain 
–       Headaches 
–       Difficulty chewing or pain with chewing 
 
Treatment options include;
–       Supportive measures: rest, massage, warm compress etc
–       Medications 
–       Physical therapy 
–       Mouthguard 
–       Botox to relax the muscles 

Botox is FDA approved and is a great option because it can help relieve the symptoms of TMJ/TMD.

Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes the jaw muscles that become enlarged, tense and sore resulting in the symptoms above. 

Botox can help relax the muscles, reduce clenching and grinding resulting in less pain and tension. There can also be a facial slimming effect which patient’s tend to enjoy as well.
