Do I Need BOTOX for Migraines or TMD?
BOTOX is a specially prepared neurotoxin derived from bacteria, and by injecting it into the body, the substance can disrupt the nerve signaling process involved in muscle contraction. As such, this helps your muscles become less stiff and rigid, which has numerous health benefits. Our team will sit down with you to explain what BOTOX is and how it can aid you in more ways than one.
Some of the reasons you should consider BOTOX for migraines and TMD includes:
- Reducing pain: Pain from TMD or migraines can leave you feeling worn down and overwhelmed. BOTOX injections are used to relax the muscles around your face and jaws to help relieve stress that can cause TMD and migraines.
- Improving function: TMD can restrict your jaw muscles and make biting and chewing difficult, especially for long periods. BOTOX can help improve oral function almost immediately after administration.
- Providing peace of mind: Whether you deal with TMD or migraines, you know they can return even after the pain subsides. BOTOX injections deal with your symptoms at the source so that you can breathe easier, knowing you don't have to worry about discomfort from either condition.
How We're Qualified to Help
At Valley Aesthetics Dental Group, we've provided Modesto residents with BOTOX treatment for TMJ and migraines for years. One of the primary reasons our patients place their trust in us is because Dr. Tourlotte has undergone comprehensive training in the therapeutic application of BOTOX. As such, you can rest assured that you'll receive specialized care at our office. In addition, we follow strict safety standards to help ensure you can confidently receive treatment in a safe environment.
What You Can Expect
When you first visit our practice, Dr. Tourlotte and her team will sit down with you and ask questions about your symptoms. How long have you been dealing with chronic migraines, and how severe are they? Do your TMD symptoms come and go, or are they more constant? Next, we'll have you fill out a special questionnaire covering everything from your health history to any medications you're currently taking.
Once our doctor determines you're an ideal candidate for BOTOX, we'll explain what you can expect to experience the day of your treatment. The process is simple, as we'll have you sit in a dental chair and use very thin needles to inject small amounts of BOTOX into specific muscles. Typically, the entire process takes less than 15 minutes, and you can safely return to work or school after treatment.
