Botox
Teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching can lead to headaches, jaw pain, and tooth damage, while fine lines and wrinkles can affect your confidence. At Sweet Tooth Dental, we offer Botox as a dual-purpose treatment—providing relief from overactive jaw muscles while enhancing your natural beauty.
Botox for Grinding and Clenching
Chronic grinding and clenching often result in jaw pain, headaches, and damage to teeth. Botox works by relaxing the overactive masseter muscles (the chewing muscles responsible for clenching), reducing tension and improving your quality of life. Benefits include:
• Relieving jaw soreness, tightness, and stiffness.
• Preventing teeth wear and enamel damage caused by grinding.
• Reducing tension headaches and facial pain.
• Slimming an enlarged or square jawline caused by overworked muscles.
Signs You May Benefit from Botox for Bruxism
You may need Botox treatment if you experience:
• Morning headaches or migraines.
• Persistent jaw pain or discomfort when chewing.
• Teeth sensitivity or visible wear from grinding.
• A bulky jawline from overdeveloped masseter muscles.
Botox for Cosmetic Enhancements
In addition to its therapeutic benefits, Botox can also enhance your appearance by reducing signs of aging and creating a refreshed look. Cosmetic benefits include:
• Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead, eyes (crow’s feet), and mouth.
• Relaxing overactive upper lip muscles to correct a gummy smile.
• Slimming the jawline for a more balanced and contoured facial profile.
What to Expect from Botox Treatment
1. Consultation: We’ll assess your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan that addresses both therapeutic and cosmetic goals.
2. Quick, Comfortable Procedure: Botox injections are precisely administered in targeted areas, with the process typically taking just 15–30 minutes.
3. Noticeable Results: Therapeutic relief from grinding and clenching begins within a few days, while cosmetic improvements—such as smoother skin and a slimmer jawline—are visible within 7–14 days. Results usually last 3–4 months.
