Did you know that BOTOX® can actually alleviate headache pain? While it's known for its aesthetic benefits, relaxing certain facial muscles can also minimize jaw joint pain, tooth clenching and grinding (bruxism), and frequent headaches. Here's what you should know about BOTOX in Elk Grove Village.
What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX uses a neurotoxin derived from bacterium mixed with saline that our dentists strategically inject into specific facial muscles, which relaxes and "freezes" them for a period of time. This results in several positive effects our patients benefit from:
- Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet
- Relaxing muscles around the jaw joint (TMJ)
- Minimizing frequent headaches
- Eliminates forehead wrinkles
The effects of BOTOX treatment typically last around three to four months before you'll need to repeat your injections.
Why Choose Your Dentist to Deliver BOTOX Injections?
Dentists are among the most qualified practitioners to deliver facial injections due to their extensive training in facial musculature and anatomy. They can also comfortably and painlessly deliver injections because they are used to administering dental anesthetics frequently through injections.
Your dentist can also better help you with TMJ pain or other issues. They can determine the best muscles to deliver BOTOX to for the most effective results.
Our dentists at Elk Grove Smile Center have also completed additional training to properly deliver BOTOX injections, making them the best choice for BOTOX whether you're looking for its aesthetic benefits, pain relief, or both.
