Change Your Life by Solving Your Jaw Problem

You are probably familiar with people using Botox to relax facial muscles to help them look younger. That’s not what we are doing at Pierce & Knight Family Dentistry. We have learned to use Botox as a way to get our TMJ patients out of pain.

TMJ dysfunction happens when your temporomandibular joints become over-worked and damaged, or when the muscles in your head/neck hold too much tension. This leads to headaches, jaw pain, jaw clicking, discomfort while chewing, and pain in your neck and head. Botox is a great alternative to traditional TMJ treatments because:

  • Treatment is minimally invasive.
  • Tension is significantly reduced within 10-14 days.
  • Treatment is effective for orofacial pain and trigger point therapy.
  • It is easier for some than wearing an oral appliance each night (though you’ll get the most relief if you can tolerate both).
  • The effects can last for months at a time.
