Botox treatments in dentistry involve injecting small, controlled amounts of botulinum toxin into specific facial and jaw muscles to manage functional problems and sometimes enhance aesthetics. It’s a growing option in dental care—not just for wrinkles—but for conditions linked to jaw muscle tension and movement.
Common Dental Uses
1. TMJ & Jaw Pain Relief
Botox relaxes overactive muscles around the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), helping reduce jaw pain, tension, and associated symptoms like clicking or limited mouth opening.

2. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Clenching)
By weakening the masseter muscles (major chewing muscles), Botox can decrease unconscious grinding and clenching, reducing tooth wear, jaw soreness, headaches, and enamel damage.
How It Works
Botox blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contraction, temporarily weakening the targeted muscles.
This reduces involuntary grinding, jaw clenching, and muscle tension.
Effects usually begin within a few days and can last about 3–6 months, requiring repeat treatments for sustained benefit.
Risks & Considerations
Common side effects may include mild swelling, bruising, slight discomfort, and temporary muscle weakness.
Rarely, inappropriate placement or dose can cause issues like asymmetrical expressions or unexpected muscle relaxation.
