BOTOX® South Burlington, VT

If you suffer from jaw tension, clicking sounds, facial pain or headaches, you might be dealing with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. This condition affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, often causing daily discomfort and limited jaw movement. At Green Mountain Dental, we understand the impact TMJ pain can have on your quality of life. Our team proudly offers BOTOX® as a non-surgical, therapeutic solution that can help manage symptoms and improve your comfort.

Understanding BOTOX as a TMJ Treatment

BOTOX is widely known for its cosmetic uses, but it also offers powerful relief for muscular disorders like TMJ. It targets the source of the pain – overactive jaw muscles – without altering your natural expressions or requiring invasive treatment. It works for TMJ by blocking nerve signals that cause the jaw muscles to over-contract. This temporary muscle relaxation helps relieve tension and pressure in the joint, reducing the frequency and intensity of TMJ symptoms.

Patients often seek BOTOX for TMJ when other conservative treatments, such as night guards or medications, are not delivering sufficient relief. It is a fast, in-office procedure with minimal downtime and long-lasting effects. Many begin to feel the effects within a few days.

Benefits of BOTOX for TMJ:

• Helps reduce chronic jaw pain and tension
• Improves ease of speaking, chewing and yawning
• Relieves facial soreness and tightness
• Diminishes headaches caused by jaw clenching
• Offers results without the need for surgery
• Convenient, non-invasive and quick to perform

Personalized Care in a Supportive Environment

Our dentists and team take pride in delivering personalized care based on your specific symptoms and medical history. We evaluate your condition thoroughly before recommending BOTOX, ensuring that it is an appropriate and beneficial option for your needs.

The treatment process is straightforward. Injections are made in targeted areas of the jaw and surrounding muscles, and most patients describe the procedure as brief and relatively painless. The effects typically last three to four months, and follow-up treatments may be scheduled to maintain comfort and function over time.
