Botox Injections for TMJ Pain

Botox injections can be an effective short term treatment for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, which when it is causing you a lot of pain and we want to be able to provide you some immediate relief. Botox, a neurotoxin, is used to relax the muscles that are contributing to the TMJ-related pain and tension.

In the short term, Botox can be used to treat the following TMJ-related symptoms:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Jaw locking or clicking
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Difficulty chewing

How the Procedure Works

During this relatively quick procedure, small amounts of Botox are injected directly into the overactive muscles of the jaw (usually the masseter or temporalis muscles) based on the detailed assessment we provide you. The Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to these muscles, reducing their ability to contract, which alleviates tension and pain.

Benefits of Botox Treatment for TMJ

When we are looking to provide immediate short-term relief to our patients these injections are successful at providing the following relief:

  • Reduces jaw pain and tension
  • Alleviates headaches caused by TMJ
  • Minimizes teeth grinding and clenching
  • Improves jaw movement and function
  • Non-invasive with minimal downtime

How Long Does Botox Treatment Last?

Botox treatment for TMJ typically lasts 3 to 4 months. Many patients experience noticeable relief within a week of treatment, with full effects seen in about 2 weeks. Periodic injections are often needed to maintain relief and because we think long term, we will provide you a treatment plan that solves this issue for years not months after our comprehensive analysis assessment to develop a treatment plan tailored to you.

    Beautiful experience. My third child, was my first with ties. Dr. Kaplan took his time showing me images of my sons ties and explaining them to me so I understood them more. He also made the atmosphere very comfortable! We had all 3 ties released (tongue, lip, and cheek) done in about 10 minutes. Dr. Kaplan checked in with me about 5 minutes after the procedure and explained everything to me about follow up appointments with lactation and chiro and how to massage my babies mouth post-op. Highly recommend for infant tie issues!

    Dr. David is by far one of the most compassionate dentists I have ever met. Dr. David and her team have a thirst for knowledge and are constantly furthering their education. I would highly recommend the TMJ & Sleep Centre of New England if you have any TMJ/Sleep needs.

    I have only been for initial exam and consultation, so this review is for that. I love the office. They have great technology and a nice ambiance if you can believe it. Pretty rare to find a dentist with nice views but I had beautiful trees to look at outside the window while I sat in the chair. The tech and dentist were so caring and really listened to me and took their time to make me feel at ease. I have had some less than savory and even traumatic experiences at other dentists , I can say that I feel very comfortable and trusting with Dr David. I think she is a brilliant doctor who really cares about people and looks at the whole picture , not just your teeth. I’m happy I found her and ready to start my treatment plan. This is by far not the cheapest dentist but I only have one set of teeth, so trusting myself to the best.
