Botox for TMJ in Mt. Juliet
Are you experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort while chewing? If so, you may be suffering from TMJ disorder. At Mt. Juliet Dental Studio, Dr. Skylor Morton offers a modern solution—Botox for TMJ relief. This non-invasive treatment can help alleviate the muscle tension causing your symptoms and restore comfort to your daily life.
What is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and move your jaw. However, when this joint becomes inflamed or tense, it can cause significant pain and dysfunction. TMJ disorder is commonly characterized by:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw
- Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully
- Frequent headaches or neck pain
These symptoms can interfere with your daily routine, but Botox offers a minimally invasive solution to bring relief.
How Botox Helps with TMJ
Botox, known for its cosmetic benefits, can also be used therapeutically to treat TMJ disorders. By injecting Botox into the overactive jaw muscles, it helps to:
- Relax muscle tension: Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity, providing relief from TMJ-related pain.
- Alleviate headaches: Many patients experience fewer tension headaches after Botox treatment for TMJ.
- Reduce clenching and grinding: This treatment is especially beneficial for those who grind their teeth, also known as bruxism, which often exacerbates TMJ symptoms.
The treatment is quick, effective, and involves minimal discomfort, making it an attractive option for TMJ sufferers seeking non-surgical solutions.
