Wake up in the morning with sore jaw muscles/ headaches, or even find yourself clenching during the day? You may suffer from Bruxism.
If left untreated, it can cause teeth factures, overworked muscles, wearing down of teeth enamel and TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) pain.
A small amount of Botox will be injected into the overworked muscles to reduce clenching and help with any accompanying muscle tension.
These injections target the muscles in the jaw regions to reduce muscle overactivity and tension associated with Bruxism and TMJ disorders.
You can discuss your treatment options here with Dr Evelyn Li at your next dental checkup.
