Depending on where a patient’s pain originates, I inject Botox into the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing, or into the TMJ directly. In the same way it relaxes facial muscles to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, the Botox injection releases the muscles and reduces tension. Most patients experience little discomfort during the procedure and are so thankful for the much-needed relief. Results are expected one to three days after injection but can take up to two weeks and can last 90 to 120 days. Whether for cosmetic enhancements or medical therapy, I invite you to talk to your dentist during your next routine check up to see if Botox is right for you.
