Botox injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles relax the tension responsible for TMJ pain, jaw clenching, and chronic headaches. Results are typically felt within 2 weeks and last 3–6 months per treatment cycle.
For patients who grind their teeth at night, Botox weakens the muscle contractions that cause grinding — reducing wear on teeth, relieving jaw soreness, minimizing episodes of lockjaw, and protecting dental restorations from the forces of bruxism.
Many chronic headaches are caused by jaw muscle tension rather than neurological factors. Dental Botox from Dr. Tannous can provide significant relief for patients who have not responded to other headache treatments.
Chronic jaw tension from TMJ and bruxism often radiates to the neck and shoulders. By relaxing overactive jaw muscles at the source, therapeutic Botox frequently reduces neck soreness and shoulder tension — providing relief that extends well beyond the jaw.
Dr. Tannous holds AAFE (American Academy of Facial Esthetics) certification — the gold standard credential for dental Botox providers in the United States.
As a dentist with 20+ years of clinical experience and deep expertise in facial and jaw anatomy, Dr. Tannous delivers Botox with a level of precision that goes beyond what a typical injector can offer — targeting the exact muscles responsible for your pain.
