Why Get Botox?
Most people know that Botox can help you achieve a more youthful, friendly appearance in no time. However, many people are unaware of its medical applications; Botox is a helpful tool in pain prevention and treatment, especially along the jaw or temples. At Eastpoint Dental, we offer Botox therapy for TMJ pain, migraines, and a more youthful glow, based on your needs.
Why Do Dentists Offer Botox?
Botox in dentistry began in 2011 when the FDA cleared it as a primary treatment modality for migraines and chronic facial pain. Long-term studies proved that Botox was as or more effective at preventing migraines than all the heavy duty prescription medications that were being prescribed to patients. Not long after, in Jan 2012, Dr. Kahan began his journey to become educated on the uses and benefits of Botox for his patients. At this time, Dr. Kahan has completed basic and advanced training involving hands-on administration and more.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox is an injectable solution that is inserted underneath the surface of the skin in very small amounts. We work with you to determine your desired outcome for Botox procedure in order to decide on injection site placements. Botox is not a filler, but instead relaxes the underlying muscles of the targeted area. This effect prevents the muscles from being able to tense up, or contract, so no wrinkles can be formed. People with Botox can still move their face and do everything that people without Botox can do, they just look younger while doing it!
Who is a Candidate for Botox?
Most of our patients choose to get Botox to address one or more of the following concerns:
- Migraines: Migraines are a vascular headache that occurs when the vessels become constricted. By targeting the clenching and other common tensed muscles, we are able to relax the muscles around these vessels and help prevent migraines.
- Jaw or facial pain: Grinding your teeth leads to the wearing down of the enamel, weakening of the structures that hold the teeth tight in the bone, and eventually muscle and TMJ pain. Most dentists treat this using a mouth guard which protects the teeth only during the hours that you wear it, but even then you can still grind down on it and cause TMJ pain. Botox relaxes all the grinding muscles completely, so that you can still chew and speak normally, without pain.
- Aesthetics: Do you have a perma-frown caused by forehead creases, the “eleven” pair of wrinkles between the eyes? Or perhaps you show a happy past through laugh line parentheses around the mouth and creases near the outer eyes? Botox can help you achieve a more youthful glow and radiant appearance in just one visit. Botox can also help eliminate scars or marks from chicken pox or acne.
