THERAPEUTIC BOTOX

Headaches, migraines, and jaw-related issues as a result of bruxism and clenching affect millions of people. These conditions often cause persistent pain and discomfort, impacting daily life and overall well-being. While many seek relief through medications, an innovative approach has emerged in dental care: using Botox as a treatment option. 

​

Chronic headaches and migraines often involve muscle tension around the head, neck, and jaw. When these muscles are tight or overworked, they can trigger or worsen pain. Botox injections help relax these muscles and interrupt the pain cycle by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles. 

 

Dentists use Botox to address muscle-related problems in the jaw and face by targeting three main facial muscles:

• Temporalis muscle: Located on the side of the head, often tense during headaches.

• Masseter muscle: The main chewing muscle, which can contribute to jaw pain and headaches.

• Frontalis muscle: The forehead muscle, involved in tension headaches.
