BOTOX

BOTOX can be used in the dental office to treat many dental conditions.

People who grind their teeth at night or during the day have a condition that is called BRUXISM. The grinding of the teeth will cause the teeth to wear down causing loss of enamel on top surfaces of the teeth which lead to sensitivity and pain. Also, grinding can cause the teeth to be shorter and that will change the occlusion and relation between upper jaw and lower jaw. This may cause a condition called TMJ. This eventually will affect the jaws muscle creating pain and headache. Administering BOTOX into the jaw muscles will relax these muscle ,alleviate the stiffness ,soreness and eventually help in headache pain.
