Botox Treatment for TMJ Pain & Headaches
Do you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, or facial tension caused by clenching or grinding your teeth? You may be experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorder (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder). At MJ Dental, we offer Botox® as a safe, effective, and non-surgical solution to help relieve the discomfort associated with TMJ dysfunction.
How Botox Helps?
Botox works by relaxing the overactive muscles in the jaw responsible for clenching and grinding (bruxism). When these muscles are relaxed, it reduces the pressure and strain on the temporomandibular joint, helping to:
• Alleviate jaw tension and pain
• Minimize the frequency and intensity of headaches
• Protect teeth from damage caused by chronic grinding
•Improve jaw mobility and comfort
A Quick, Minimally Invasive Treatment
The Botox procedure is quick, typically completed in just 10–15 minutes with no downtime. Many patients begin to feel relief within a few days, with full results in about one to two weeks. Treatments can last up to 3–4 months, and many patients schedule regular maintenance appointments to stay pain-free.
Is Botox Right for You?
If you’ve tried night guards, pain relievers, or other therapies with limited relief, Botox may be an excellent next step. Schedule a consultation with our experienced team to determine if this treatment is right for you.
