Therapeutic Botox is a safe, effective, and non-surgical treatment used in dentistry to relieve chronic facial pain, jaw tension, and muscle-related conditions. While most people know of Botox for its use in cosmetic procedures, it has also proven to be a remarkably effective therapy for TMJ and TMD. At our family and cosmetic dentistry practice in Alexandria Dental Care Center in VA, we offer therapeutic Botox as part of a comprehensive approach to improving both oral health and overall comfort.
Botox works by relaxing overactive muscles that contribute to conditions such as TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder), jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), chronic headaches, and facial muscle pain. By targeting the source of tension, therapeutic Botox can significantly reduce discomfort, improve jaw function, and help protect your teeth from excessive wear.
Dr. Jasani is highly trained in facial anatomy and precision injection techniques, making her uniquely qualified to administer Botox for therapeutic purposes. Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and typically require little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily routine the same day.
Patients throughout Alexandria and surrounding Northern Virginia communities choose therapeutic Botox to:
- Reduce TMJ and jaw pain
- Relieve tension headaches and migraines
- Minimize damage from teeth grinding or clenching
- Improve jaw mobility and comfort
- Complement other dental treatments such as night guards or bite therapy
