Can BOTOX®️be used to relax the jaw muscles to make chewing and speaking easier?

As effective as BOTOX® ️is at reversing the effects of aging, it’s more than a simple cosmetic treatment. BOTOX has been shown to provide therapeutic relief for patients struggling with tension or impaired mobility in their temporomandibular joint (TMJ) due to chronic clenching or grinding (bruxism). 

How BOTOX Helps

Patients often notice significant improvement in both jaw mobility and overall comfort within days of treatment. By temporarily limiting overactive muscle contractions, BOTOX can make everyday activities such as chewing and speaking easier and less painful.

While BOTOX does not replace structural dental care, it can complement traditional therapies to address functional issues, reduce muscle fatigue, and improve quality of life. It’s a minimally invasive option with quick treatment times and virtually no downtime, making it an attractive solution for those seeking relief from chronic jaw tension.

Here at Camas Dentistry, Dr. Demian Woyciehowsky and our experienced team offer BOTOX treatments to relax the muscles around the jaw, reducing discomfort from clenching, grinding, or TMJ disorders.
