We use Botox Injections to treat clenched jaw muscle conditions like TMJ and Grinding of Teeth. Botox is both safe and highly effective to treat these conditions.
Pain from TMJ and Grinding of teeth is caused by jaw muscles that are clenched. Dr. Ann Ullah, DDS uses a two-step process to alleviate pain and induce the muscles to relax.
We approach TMJ and Teeth Grinding
relief with a two-step process…
Trigger Point Injections
We identify the muscles that control the clenching of the jaw muscles and administer a 1% Lidocaine injection to the site. If the pain is relieved, this indicates that the cause of pain is indeed muscular in nature.
Botox Injections
If TMJ pain recurs, we may then recommend to administer Botox Injections to various sites in the jaw muscles. These injections cause the muscles to relax. Patients often experience permanent relief from pain after receiving Botox injections. The procedure is both safe, and effective.
