BOTOX® is used for a number of medical conditions, such as migraine headaches, TMJ/TMD pain, and pain from grinding teeth.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is similar to a sliding hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorders can affect normal jaw function and are frequently intensified by stress, often causing discomfort in the cheek, jaw, or ear areas. BOTOX® injections can be used to immobilize the jaw muscles, allowing the joint the opportunity to heal.
After your BOTOX® injections, we may recommend other self-care such as eating soft foods, using ice packs, avoiding extreme jaw movement or nonsurgical treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications or stabilization splints. Ask your doctor for more details to find out if treatment with BOTOX® may be right for you.
