What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a protein that is administered to specific areas of the face for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. While BOTOX® has been around for many years in the cosmetic industry to treat wrinkles and fine lines, dentists may use the procedure therapeutically. The treatment can help address complications associated with tight jaw muscles, ease tension headaches, and improve gummy smiles.
How does BOTOX® work?
When BOTOX® is injected into the facial muscles, it releases neurotoxins that prevent the muscles from contracting. This helps relax facial muscles, which can relieve painful dental conditions and give patients a more youthful look.
Injections are administered with a small syringe just below the skin surface. While a session typically takes less than ten minutes, the time varies depending on the condition and the number of injections needed. Patients generally experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.
