BOTOX® Aesthetics & TMJ Pain in Camas, WA
At Camas Dentistry, we understand how debilitating chronic pain can be. You may know that BOTOX® is commonly used to improve facial aesthetics for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. What you might not know is that it can be a game-changer if you are struggling with chronic TMJ pain or disorders.
How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX is derived from the botulinum toxin, and its superpower lies in its ability to relax muscles. When injected in small amounts, it temporarily freezes targeted muscles, which prevents them from contracting.
When used for aesthetics, BOTOX reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; however, its therapeutic applications go beyond skin deep. If you suffer from chronic TMJ or jaw joint pain, BOTOX alleviates pain by relaxing the overactive muscles responsible for the tension and discomfort.
Why Choose a Dentist for BOTOX?
You might wonder why you should choose a dentist in Camas to administer BOTOX. The reason is that a professional like Dr. Demian W has an intricate knowledge and understanding of facial anatomy and muscle dynamics. He has also perfected the art of comfortable injections so you can be confident that your treatment will be delivered safely and effectively.
TMJ Disorder and the BOTOX Solution
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder can make even the simplest acts like chewing or speaking painful and difficult. Its symptoms range from jaw pain to headaches and neck and shoulder pain. BOTOX works by relaxing the jaw muscles and reducing or eliminating the involuntary movements that aggravate TMJ pain. Those with pain in their jaw muscles from clenching or who experience excessive teeth grinding can find relief with Botox.
While BOTOX is effective for many, we also value the benefits of traditional TMJ treatments. Dr. Demian is dedicated to understanding your unique challenges to provide the ideal solution for your situation.
Time-tested therapies like custom night guards and stress reduction techniques have also been proven to help minimize TMJ pain and symptoms. After performing an examination, we will tailor an approach that addresses your individual needs.
Rediscover Youthful Radiance with BOTOX
BOTOX addresses a multitude of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow's feet
- Frown lines (“11” lines)
- Lip lines
- Lateral brow lift
- Gummy smiles
- Lip flip
By temporarily inhibiting muscle activity in these areas, BOTOX gives you a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance. Thanks to Dr. Demian’s expertise, you can be confident that your facial expressions will look natural and not stiff or frozen.
The full effects of BOTOX are typically evident within 10 days and can last three months or longer. With repeated treatments, BOTOX can even “train” muscles to relax and delay the onset of new wrinkles.
