BOTOX®
BOTOX® in the Dental Chair?
Botox offers relief from more than just wrinkles.
When most people visualize BOTOX® treatment, they envision visiting a BOTOX® certified doctor’s office where they administer shots that decrease the aging effects of crow’s feet, laugh, and frown lines in the face to help patients appear more youthful. Yet, an increasing number of people are discovering the benefits of receiving BOTOX® injections in the dental chair.
Used as an alternative treatment for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, BOTOX® is increasingly being sought out by patients seeking relief from associated jaw tension, discomfort, and pain. BOTOX® injections are also known to eliminate severe and debilitating migraine headaches related to teeth grinding and can greatly minimize lockjaw. Additionally, BOTOX® treatment can increase overall dental health by reducing the excessive grinding that can lead to worn teeth and damaged gums that often require costly treatments. BOTOX® injections are non-invasive and non-surgical, and patients typically experience noticeable improvements within one or two days after treatment, although it can take up to one week to achieve optimal relief.
As a dentist, Dr. Kelly B. Wettstein has advanced training in the oral and maxillofacial areas (the face from chin to forehead) and is also a certified provider of BOTOX®.
