What is Botox used for in dentistry?

Botox is commonly used to treat both cosmetic and therapeutic concerns.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles — Botox helps relax facial muscles, smoothing out crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines for a more youthful appearance.
Teeth Clenching and TMJ Pain — relieves muscle tension by relaxing the jaw muscles, reducing headaches, facial pain, and discomfort caused by grinding and clenching.

Are dentists qualified to administer Botox?

Dentists are uniquely qualified to administer Botox due to their extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, muscles, and injection techniques. Dental professionals are always required to receive specialized training in Botox administration to safely and effectively treat both cosmetic concerns and conditions like TMJ disorders. Our Gypsum dental team is highly qualified to provide precise, targeted injections to ensure optimal results, and we are happy to address any questions or concerns you may have throughout the process.

What can I do and not do after getting Botox?

After receiving Botox, you should aim to remain upright for at least four hours and avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent it from spreading. Strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and alcohol should be avoided for at least 24 hours to reduce swelling and bruising. You can continue normal facial movements and gently apply ice if needed. Results typically appear within a few days, and following post-care instructions helps ensure the best possible outcome.
