BOTOX®

BOTOX has been used medicinally and as an aesthetic enhancement for decades. It is a proven therapy that helps manage pain and can also relax fine lines and wrinkles.

At Clarendon Family Dentistry, we’re pleased to offer it for the following:

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding and Clenching)
Facial Aesthetic Enhancements
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ/TMD)

Our dentist in Arlington, VA, will evaluate your circumstances to ensure that BOTOX treatment is suitable for your needs and will deliver the results you’ve been looking for.

What Is BOTOX?

According to Brown University Health, BOTOX is a toxin derived from Clostridium botulinum. In small doses or in medicinal form, it can treat everything from strabismus to headaches, from bladder control issues to teeth grinding, and even aesthetic concerns.

BOTOX is not a new treatment option. Rather, it has been used by professional practitioners for decades.

BOTOX and Bruxism

Bruxism is the habit of grinding and clenching your teeth, especially during sleep. Signs of bruxism include:

Head, Neck, Shoulder, and Jaw Pain
Tooth Fractures and Tooth Wear
Swelling in Front of the Ears
TMJ Complications

BOTOX and TMJ

BOTOX relaxes the muscles that support your jaw joints (where the lower jaw connects to the skull), helping to rest these joints and reduce inflammation. TMJ sometimes results from bruxism, so that this treatment can work for both issues.

BOTOX works by relaxing or slightly freezing the muscles used to chew or grind your teeth. This does not mean you can’t smile, chew, yawn, and enjoy natural oral function.

BOTOX and Facial Aesthetics

BOTOX works by relaxing the muscles beneath the skin, thereby smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. It works for crow’s feet, smile lines, 11 lines between the brows, and more.

Your results from aesthetic BOTOX treatments typically continue to improve even after you’ve left the dental office.

Your dentist will let you know what to expect.

Why Trust BOTOX Treatment to Your Dentist?

You may think that dentists only deal with your teeth. In reality, they are maxillofacial experts. Who better to administer BOTOX successfully?

We use a whisper-thin needle when delivering BOTOX treatment. You may notice a mild sting, but you should not feel pain. Later, you may experience mild bruising and swelling, but this does not last.
