Botox® Eases TMJ Pain and Chronic Teeth Grinding

At Tavistock Family Dentistry in Tavistock, Ontario, we know that dental care involves more than just your teeth and gums. Led by Dr. Manvir Grewal, our team goes beyond standard treatments to offer comprehensive care aimed at improving your overall well-being. One of the advanced services we offer is Botox® therapy, a solution for those struggling with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJD).

Botox® for TMJDs TMJDs can present a variety of disruptive symptoms, including:

  • Chronic migraines
  • Facial and neck pain
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
  • Jaw stiffness, which limits movement and makes everyday activities like eating uncomfortable

While Botox® is widely known for its cosmetic use in reducing wrinkles, its origins are rooted in
medical treatments. Initially developed to treat crossed eyes (strabismus), Botox® has evolved
into a solution for many conditions, including TMJDs.

Botox® in Dentistry As a treatment for TMJDs, Botox® works by addressing the root cause of the pain. The Temporomandibular Joints can become overworked due to conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding). These joints act as hinges, connecting the jaw to the skull, and when stressed, they lead to painful symptoms and limited jaw mobility.

Dr. Grewal uses Botox® to target specific muscles that contribute to TMJD. By relaxing these muscles, Botox® alleviates the strain on the joints, reducing pain and other related symptoms. In addition, patients suffering from teeth grinding may also experience cosmetic benefits, as Botox® can help reduce the bulkiness of overworked jaw muscles that create a heavy or boxy appearance.

The Benefits of Botox® at Tavistock Family Dentistry With Dr. Grewal’s expertise in facial anatomy and muscle function, you can trust that the right amount of Botox® will be applied in precisely the right areas. This results in highly targeted and effective therapy.

Schedule your appointment at our Tavistock office today by calling (519) 512-9961. If Botox® is the recommended treatment, we will also discuss maintenance sessions to ensure long-term relief from TMJDs and bruxism. Botox® offers a safe, non-invasive, and low-risk alternative to surgery.
