You may have heard of BOTOX® injections as a cosmetic treatment to help eliminate the look of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, but you may not have ever considered how the botulinum toxin in BOTOX can be used for a wide range of medical and dental treatments. BOTOX in dentistry has become increasingly popular and can be used for everything from helping your dentures fit better to alleviating the pain associated with Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. So, how can Seymour Dental Associates use BOTOX to help you? Keep reading to find out.

What Is BOTOX?

Before you visit Seymour Dental Associates for BOTOX treatment, you might wonder what BOTOX is and how it is used in our dental office. As a licensed healthcare provider, we use a purified form of botulinum toxin approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. When used correctly by our trained dental team, BOTOX is not harmful and can alleviate many medical concerns and enhance your appearance. This minimally invasive treatment is given as an injection under the skin, and you can expect excellent results with little to no discomfort.

How Is BOTOX Used at Seymour Dental Associates?

In our dental office, we are proud to offer BOTOX injections to our patients. With the use of BOTOX, we can help you with the following cosmetic and dental concerns:

Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles – We can use BOTOX injections to relax and soften the lines on your forehead, around your eyes and mouth, and for lip, chin, and necklines. You can expect this cosmetic treatment to help you look and feel younger.

Smile improvement – If you have a high lip line, we can use BOTOX to relax your lip muscles to give you a more natural-looking smile.

Denture treatment – If you are missing your teeth, your lip muscles may sag and move, making it more difficult for you to be fitted with dentures. With BOTOX injections, your lip muscles can be trained to relax and reposition around a new set of dentures, giving you back your smile and the ability to eat the foods you love.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder treatment – If you suffer from pain often associated with TMJ disorders, BOTOX injections can relax the muscles around your TMJ, which is an effective pain relief treatment.

Bruxism treatment – If you grind your teeth or clench your jaw, a condition known as bruxism, your dentist may have prescribed a mouthguard for you to wear at night. However, with the use of BOTOX injections, you may find that your bruxism symptoms improve since the BOTOX can help minimize the force with which your jaw muscles contract.
