BOTOX® Therapeutic
BOTOX® treatment can be effective in treating patients with chronic jaw muscle pain and frequent headaches. Patients that clench and grind their teeth would benefit from Botox.
The BOTOX® Procedure
BOTOX® injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and will need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects.
Post-Operative Information
After the treatment, patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. BOTOX® is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. The doctor will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
