Are you experiencing chronic jaw pain or arthritic discomfort in your jaw area? Our team understands the discomfort and frustration that comes with these ailments.

These injectables offer amazing benefits beyond their cosmetic uses, helping to alleviate painful symptoms caused by teeth grinding or TMJ disorder. Let our highly trained team help you find relief using therapeutic injections for targeted treatment.

Injectables for Non-Cosmetic Treatment

Injectable treatments are commonly used to relax facial muscles in order to reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging, but they can also be used for medical purposes. Our team provides therapeutic injections to treat a wide range of common health issues. Therapeutic injection treatments help reduce muscle spasms occurring in the face caused by TMJ disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder.

As a safe and simple treatment for those in need of relief from discomfort, we recommend injections to patients who suffer from chronic jaw pain due to TMJ disorder and arthritis of the jaw muscle. Therapeutic injectables help relieve tension on the jaw muscles and other surrounding tissues for a pain-free jaw and smile.

What Is Bruxism?

Bruxism is the unconscious habit of grinding, gnashing, or clenching teeth, which can occur at any time but is often experienced during sleep. This condition tends to worsen during periods of stress and leads to muscle tension, resulting in facial, neck, and head pain. Prolonged bruxism can even lead to permanent damage to your teeth. Sleep bruxism is particularly harmful to your overall well-being, as it disrupts sleep patterns and can disturb others in your household.

Here are a few of the most common signs
of bruxism to look out for:

  • Teeth that are worn or increasingly sensitive
  • Chipped teeth
  • Ear and headaches
  • Tinnitus, or persistent ear ringing
  • Jaw joint pain or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD)
  • Jaw or neck stiffness
  • Regular snoring

Injectable Treatment for
TMJ Disorder & Bruxism

Our skilled dentists offer comfortable and efficient procedures without the need for incisions or stitches. With a quick injection into the targeted muscles, you can continue with your normal activities immediately after the treatment. To ensure your utmost comfort, we may apply numbing cream to the treatment area before the injection. The entire procedure can be completed in less than half an hour.

After leaving our office, you can expect to see lasting results within one to two days. If you find the treatment particularly effective, our team may recommend follow-up visits to continually manage discomfort from TMJ pain and bruxism. Many patients have reported longer-lasting results over time, which means fewer visits to our office.
