Unlock the Benefits of Dental Botox

Botox isn’t just for smoothing out wrinkles; it’s a versatile treatment that can help those suffering from TMJ disorders and teeth grinding (bruxism). At Stehl Family Dental, we’re proud to offer expert dental Botox treatments that relieve pain and improve quality of life.

What is Botox in Dentistry?

Botox is a minimally invasive treatment that reduces muscle activity by temporarily paralyzing targeted muscles. In dentistry, it’s used to alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorders and bruxism, providing welcome relief where traditional methods might fall short.

Botox for TMJ Disorders

What is TMJ? 

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, causing pain, discomfort, and difficulty in moving the jaw.

Common Signs: 
  • Pain or tenderness in your jaw
  • Aching around your ear
  • Difficulty chewing or discomfort while eating
How Can Botox Help? 

Botox injections can relax the muscles involved, reducing tension and alleviating pain. Many patients notice improvements in their symptoms in just a few days to a week!

Botox for Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

What is Bruxism? 

Bruxism involves the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often during sleep. This can result in worn enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and even headaches.

Common Signs: 
  • Audible grinding noises at night
  • Worn-down teeth
  • Jaw or face pain upon waking
How Can Botox Help? 

By relaxing the jaw muscles, Botox for teeth grinding reduces the intensity of involuntary grinding movements, preventing further dental damage and relieving associated pain.
