TMJ, or jaw joint pain, is said to be some of the worst! It can significantly impact the quality of your life when you can't comfortably eat, chew, or even open your mouth. It can also be quite debilitating when you suffer from multiple symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
If you or a loved one suffers from TMD, here are some of the painful symptoms you might be living with:
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Jaw locking open or closed
- Tenderness or pain during chewing
- Jaw joint popping or clicking
- Frequent headaches
- Tinnitus (ringing in your ears)
- Limited jaw movement
The good news is that there are solutions if you suffer from TMD. Today, we'll explore how BOTOX® in Watkinsville, GA, can help reduce or eliminate those symptoms and how many patients find it more effective than other types of treatment. Here's what you should know.
What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a neurotoxin that, when used in small doses, temporarily relaxes facial muscles by "freezing" them temporarily. BOTOX is delivered through injections Dr. Nail expertly delivers to the specific facial muscles causing discomfort. The effects of BOTOX treatment typically last for three to four months before you'll need injections again.
Why Choose Your Dentist for BOTOX Injections?
Your trusted dentist is the ideal candidate for delivering comfortable, pain-free BOTOX injections. This is because they often deliver comfortable, pain-free dental anesthetic injections for many different dental procedures.
Your dentist also has extensive knowledge and training around dental and facial anatomy and musculature, which makes them experts on properly delivering BOTOX to the right facial muscles.
