Botox Windsor

Botox might be popular for its ability to banish wrinkles, but it’s also very effective in treating symptoms of TMJ! Botox has actually been used for years to treat chronic headaches, muscle tension, and other types of neck, jaw, and facial pain. It’s a very quick procedure that gives long-lasting relief – typically about 6 months. As a general and cosmetic dentist for over 35 years, we offer many creative solutions to help you live life pain-free. If you’ve been searching the Windsor area for treatment for your TMJ, contact Buzza Dental Group today at 707-573-0600.

TMJ Syndrome is a chronic condition of the temporomandibular joint. This joint is what lets you open and close your mouth – it works like a hinge. It can be hard to pinpoint why TMJ happens. Sometimes the joint becomes worn, injured, or overworked. This can make it difficult to eat, sleep, or even smile. Bite issues can also cause chronic TMJ pain. Until fairly recently, surgery was one of the main options for treatment. Fortunately, we now have a more comfortable and conservative solution: Botox!

Botox works by interrupting the pain cycle. This gives sore, tense, overworked muscles a chance to relax. It also helps with unconscious behaviors that can contribute to TMJ, like jaw clenching and teeth grinding. Botox isn’t just for joint and facial pain, however. Some Windsor patients don’t like that a large portion of their gums show when they smile – what’s sometimes called a “gummy smile.” Botox can be used to give gummy smiles a more aesthetically pleasing appearance! We also offer other solutions for TMJ, like mouth guards and Invisalign. Schedule an appointment with us! We take a look and discuss your options.
