Botox can be used therapeutically in dentistry to relieve symptoms associated with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, bruxism (teeth grinding and jaw clenching), and even help with a “gummy smile” or lower facial muscle tension.
When injected into overactive jaw muscles (such as the masseter or temporalis), Botox temporarily relaxes them by blocking nerve signals. This reduces muscle tension, alleviates pain, and decreases the force of teeth grinding over time.
Most patients experience relief for 3 to 6 months. The duration varies depending on the individual and the amount of muscle activity.
Yes, while Botox is generally safe when administered by a trained dental professional, possible side-effects include mild bruising or swelling at injection sites, temporary muscle weakness, and in rare cases, unwanted relaxation of nearby muscles.
Coverage varies. Because Botox for TMJ/bruxism is often considered an off-label use, many insurance plans may not cover it. It’s best to check with your provider and our team can also help you explore payment or financing options.
