Botox for TMJ pain relief

  • Dr. Mark H Wright

Use of Botox in Dentistry in Colorado Springs CO Area

Botox is a powerful tool that dentists typically use to treat headaches and other types of facial pain. One everyday use for Botox in dentistry is for the treatment of TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder. This condition occurs when the jaw muscles become too tight, causing discomfort and pain. Dentists such as Dr. Mark H. Wright of Colorado Springs, Colorado, typically use Botox injections to relax these muscles and relieve pressure on the joint, eliminating jaw stiffness, popping sounds, earaches, migraines, headaches, –and most importantly–severe pain.

Why choose Botox for TMJ relief?

TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), can be highly problematic for patients in their day-to-day lives. By finding relief, patients can enjoy everyday activities and avoid pain when eating, laughing, and speaking. With Botox injections, patients can enjoy comfort for several months. This is because Botox works by reducing muscle contractions and tightening. When tension causes discomfort, it can be addressed using Botox. Botox is also used in situations such as treating patients with chronic headaches and migraines, as it can address the tension of the muscles that contribute to this problem.

What are the benefits of Botox in dentistry?

Botox is:

  • Approved by the US FDA as safe and effective in treating TMJ/TMD
  • Administered during routine dental appointments or at separate visits as needed
  • Long-lasting, providing relief for several months before requiring reinjections
  • Used in other areas of medicine, providing versatile solutions for many specialties
  • An affordable way of treating TMJ and can be used along with other treatment methods for longer-lasting results (i.e., appliance therapy)
  • Completed quickly and discreetly in the dentist’s chair by our experienced and trained professionals

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
