Botox to Relieve TMD Pain and Provide Cosmetic Improvements

Those who suffer through TMD know that it can result in pain, worn down teeth, and destruction of their jaw and gums. Here at Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY, Dr. Nick M Mobilia, DDS offers Botox. Not only does it decrease pain and wearing due to TMD, but it may also provide cosmetic benefits.

TMD is the dysfunction of the TMJs. This condition causes the jaw to clench and lock up; it causes massive facial and jaw pain, bad headaches, and causes the destruction of teeth and gums. Botox can help decrease some of the pain associated and help decrease the destruction caused. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that surround the TMJs. This can relieve pain and discomfort, reduce the intensity of clenching, reduce headaches, and reduce the wear-down of teeth, gums, and your jaw joints (TMJs).

Botox may also be used to improve the look of “gummy smile”. This is a condition where there is excess gum tissue that makes teeth appear shorter. Botox relaxes the upper lip to improve the look of this. Botox also helps control excessive salivary flow. For those who would like smooth and youthful-looking skin to complement their smile, Botox may also be used to reduce wrinkles in the forehead.

If you are suffering though pain and destruction due to TMD, or desire a cosmetic boost, Botox may be your solution. To schedule an appointment in our New York, NY office with Dr. Nick M Mobilia, DDS, contact Elite Dental Arts at (212) 681-0939 or visit our website, www.elitedentalarts.com.
