Overcome TMJ Pain with Botulinum Toxin Injections

  • Dr. Mark H Wright
  • Botox
Botulinum Toxin Injection in Colorado Springs CO Area

When Dr. Mark Wright meets patients battling TMJ disorder, most are usually frustrated by taking pain-relieving medications for many years. However, when Dr. Wright asks them whether they have tried Botox, most are usually taken aback. And we understand because most people associate Botox with beauty enhancement. However, the truth is that Botox injections can reduce TMJ-related pains, improving your overall quality of life.

TMJ disorder explained

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex yet underappreciated joints in your body. When it’s working optimally, you will barely notice you have it because you can yawn, laugh, chew, bite, and smile without any ounce of pain. However, when this joint isn’t working as it should be, you may experience many symptoms, including:

  • Popping or clicking sound when moving your jaws
  • Headaches
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Jaw pain
  • Neck, shoulder, and facial pain
  • Swelling in the face
  • Dental damage

Now that you are familiar with TMJ disorder symptoms, you may ask what causes the malfunctioning of this joint in the first place. Stress, arthritis, injury, bite misalignment, and teeth grinding can all lead to TMJ pain. However, with the help of a dentist, you can pinpoint the exact cause of your TMJ pain.

Botox for TMJ Disorder

What have you heard about Botox? Most people know Botox injection as a treatment to reduce age-related wrinkles and fine lines in the face. But how does Botox do this? This treatment prevents nerve cell signals from reaching your muscles, minimizing muscle contractions. Given that Botox injections relax your muscles, you can now understand how it relieves TMJ-related pain.

Depending on your symptoms, Botox for TMJ is injected into the jaw muscles, forehead, or temple. The injection relaxes your muscles, lifting tension off the TMJ. As a result, you experience few or no headaches, sleep better, and feel relaxed.

COVID-19 Patient Safety Policy

To my valued patients,

After great deliberation, I have made the decision to close the office effective March 19th. We will continue to see patients this week, but as things continue to change rapidly, that date may change. I care deeply about all of you, as well as my team. In order to keep everyone healthy and safe, we will only be seeing patients on an emergency basis. I will always be available, and you may reach me on my cell phone for any emergency. If we had an appointment scheduled for you, and we haven’t been able to make contact, please call our office to reschedule.

You may reach us at dr.wright@markhwrightdds.com or call (719) 635-1622.

Thank you all for your understanding. We will see you as soon as we can.

-Dr. Wright
