What Should I Know About Botox® and Bruxism?

added on: January 25, 2023

By now, pretty much everyone knows what Lewisburg Botox® is. However, don’t think it’s just for getting rid of wrinkles. What if we told you that Botox® treatments are also used as a helpful pain relief solution for patients struggling with TMJ issues or bruxism — aka teeth grinding. Let Dr. Scott Bonomo and the team at Union Dental Health explain.

What is Bruxism?

Bruxism is pretty simple to understand, but it can cause complex issues for someone who struggles with it. It’s just a term for what would generally be referred to as chronic clenching of the jaw, grinding of teeth, or both combined. Bruxism can lead to:

  • Daily pain or discomfort
  • Tension in your jaw
  • Recurring headaches or migraines
  • Earaches
  • Facial pain
  • Damage to your teeth

We see how Botox® in Lewisburg can change your levels of pain from unbearable to undetectable. Let us do the same for you! It’s more effective than most people think for helping with things other than our unwanted forehead lines. 

What Your Next Steps Should Be

If this sounds like you or maybe even someone you know, it’s best to speak with the team at Union Dental Health. You don’t have to live with constant jaw pain, headaches, and more. You can get help and see if Botox® will be a good fit for you. DId you know that we have Kristen Snyder, RN, an Aesthetic Nurse on staff who can speak with you too about the benefits of  Botox® in Lewisburg for bruxism pain relief. Remember, Botox® is therapeutic to so many people in so many different ways other than making their wrinkles disappear. 

Sometimes some professionals suggest simply reducing the stress in your life to help manage the issues that bruxers face. For so many people, this is easier said than done.
