Are you feeling like you most certainly need some kind of treatment for your TMJ disorder but you tend to remain conservative about making choices for your oral health? Like many patients, you may think to yourself that eventually your oral appliance therapy will provide significant relief, so you may as well tough it out. We are here to explain why it’s a good idea to choose Botox for TMJ treatment. A bit of motivation from the professionals can be quite helpful when you want to say, “Yes!” but aren’t certain about the extent of the benefits.

Without signs and symptoms, like aches and pains, you probably wouldn’t notice when something’s wrong with your body. The trouble with TMJ disorder, however, is that its symptoms can mimic the same signs as a myriad of their conditions, many of which aren’t even dental-related. TMJ disorders are dysfunctions involving your jaw’s joints and muscles that result in discomfort and difficulty with jaw movement. They can be caused by a number of factors such as excessive stress, a misaligned bite, or habitual teeth-grinding, to name just a few, and patients can often find relief through the help of TMJ treatment with Botox®.

Are you interested in receiving Botox for TMJ treatment but you are not quite sure what to expect as far as the timeline goes? Perhaps you are worried that you will need multiple treatments to see a difference (you won’t – just one treatment offers effective relief). Maybe you are curious about how much time you will need to take off of work or whether it will last very long. Allow us to address these very common questions with a helpful question-and-answer session.

Have you been thinking that you might be suffering from TMJ disorder (TMD) because a friend or family member mentioned that your symptoms match this oral health concern? Are you interested in finding out more about whether Botox or other treatment might help because you are certainly tired of the discomfort – but you aren’t even sure that TMD is affecting your oral health? Let’s get started by going over the essential details.

Most everyone has heard of Botox as a cosmetic treatment, to address facial lines and wrinkles. For years, women and men have used it to look younger. But did you know that Botox can also be used to help alleviate muscle pain, such as that caused by TMJ issues, like Tempormandibular Joint Disorder? If you have been suffering from stiffness through your jaw, or difficulty chewing, Botox might be able to help you address that discomfort and get back to enjoying your life once again.

Most people have heard of TMJ, a commonly used abbreviation for what is actually called Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), but not all know what it is, how it is caused, or what can be done to relive the pain associated with this common disorder. Determining if you are suffering from TMJ Disorder, or TMD, can be incredibly helpful, though, especially since your dentist might be able to offer you quick relief from jaw pain and associated symptoms. By relieving tightness throughout your hard-working jaw joints, TMD treatment can help eliminate discomfort throughout the jaw, and even protect your teeth from undue wear that could lead to noticeably jagged edges, heightened sensitivity and other damage. If you are unsure if you have TMD, the following quiz can help you learn the most common symptoms of the disorder.
