BOTOX® Treatment
The dentists at MDC often recommend BOTOX® as an effective treatment for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). This innovative approach can significantly relieve patients struggling with jaw pain and discomfort.
BOTOX temporarily relaxes the muscles around your jaw. Jaw muscles are powerful and exert massive force, which can lead to inflammation and pain. When injected into specific facial muscles, BOTOX blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This reduction in muscle activity can alleviate the tension and strain on your temporomandibular joint, leading to decreased pain and improved jaw function.
The treatment is quick, typically taking only 10-15 minutes, and causes minimal discomfort or downtime. Many patients notice improvements within a few days; full effects are usually seen within two weeks to a month—the benefits typically last three to four months, providing extended relief from TMD symptoms.
Why Choose Your Dentist for BOTOX Injections?
It's important to note that BOTOX for TMD is a specialised treatment. Our dentist's expertise ensures precise injections tailored to your specific needs. While not a permanent solution, regular treatments can offer long-term management of TMD symptoms, helping you regain comfort and quality of life.
If you're struggling with TMD, we encourage you to book a consultation with one of our dentists to discuss whether BOTOX in Tamborine Mountain might be right for you.
