What does Botox entail?
Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, is a manufactured injectable medication used to reduce the strength of specific muscles. This can help prevent unwanted skin wrinkles and discomfort caused by tense muscles. Botox is carefully administered in small amounts to relax the muscles. Extensively researched, Botox has been proven to be safe and effective, making it popular in both therapeutic and cosmetic settings.
Our dental practice in Tennyson is proud to offer Botox treatments, which are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures nationwide. With a high satisfaction rate, Botox effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and helps alleviate muscle tension and headaches.

BOTOX for TMJ
BOTOX® injections are not only known for their ability to smooth facial wrinkles without surgery, but they also provide a viable treatment option for TMJ disorders. By injecting BOTOX into the facial muscles, effective relief can be achieved for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and jaw tension. If you are curious about whether BOTOX could help alleviate your TMJ disorder or jaw pain, schedule an appointment at Sierra Dental & Orthodontics in Tennyson.
Why choose BOTOX for TMJ treatment?
The TMJs, located where the jawbone meets the skull, undergo significant strain during activities like talking and eating. However, excessive stress, jaw clenching, and teeth grinding can lead to inflammation and discomfort in these joints.
Injecting BOTOX into the facial muscles can temporarily paralyze them, reducing excessive clenching and grinding movements. This treatment can help alleviate headaches, pain, and premature tooth wear.
