You know that countless men and women go to cosmetic surgeons to get Botox, but did you realize you can receive Botox treatments at the dentist, as well? Dental Botox has some significant advantages that you should explore.
If you receive Botox injections to treat fine lines and wrinkles at a cosmetic surgeon’s office, a nurse will probably administer the treatment. However, a licensed dentist administers dental Botox injections. Dentists are experts in facial anatomy. Their understanding of facial muscle expression dynamics makes them the right choice for Botox injections. You can expect outstanding results when you receive injections from an expert.
Your dentist’s understanding of facial anatomy also comes in handy for enhancing your smile. First, your dentist will review your facial features and mouth and then recommended Botox treatments that will produce the best results. Dentists can offer suggestions that many cosmetic surgeons wouldn’t even consider because they aren’t experts in dentistry. After you receive your injections, you will be ready to flash your smile to friends, family, and even strangers.
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a serious dental problem. Grinding your teeth at night can cause headaches, muscle pain, and cracked and broken teeth. It can even make your teeth more sensitive and damage the jaw joint and bones. Your dentist can inject Botox into your chewing muscles to soften the biting and grinding force. This simple treatment can protect your teeth and muscles when you go to sleep, and you won’t have to worry about wearing a nightguard. Also, because your dentist is an expert in your teeth, gums, and mouth, you’ll feel confident undergoing this treatment.
Your dentist can also use dental Botox to relieve pain associated with TMJ. If you suffer from TMJ, you might deal with daily facial pain, ear pain, and headaches, and Botox can provide immediate relief. Your dentist will inject Botox into the sore facial muscles, reducing tension and symptoms. Again, it’s wise to choose a dentist when receiving Botox injections to treat oral problems.
If you have a gummy smile, you probably feel self-conscious every time you flash your pearly whites. You are embarrassed about your smile, but you don’t want to undergo surgery to correct it. Fortunately, dental Botox can treat a gummy smile. Your dentist will inject Botox into the muscles that lift the upper lip. You’ll still be able to lift your upper lift, but it won’t go up as high, thus hiding excess gum tissue. That will give you an extra dose of confidence when you smile.
