Along with our other cosmetic treatments at Southbridge Dental Care, BOTOX can help improve the look of your smile and give you a more youthful appearance to boot! This medication temporarily relaxes the targeted muscles to smooth out your skin and relieve tension.

Therapeutic Uses of BOTOX in Dentistry

The purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance your appearance, which can boost your confidence and quality of life. BOTOX injections can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth so that you can enjoy a younger-looking smile.

You can also get BOTOX injections to relax a high lip line and gummy smile or to smooth out other areas of your face, including forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet.

Jaw pain due to temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) can negatively impact the way you chew and talk. BOTOX injections can relax the tense muscles in your jaw area to bring temporary relief from this debilitating issue.

Care Tips After BOTOX

Once you’ve had an injection, you should avoid any strenuous activity for 24 hours and keep your head elevated as much as you can. Limit touching your face and putting pressure on the target area. You will likely see results in about a week, which can last up to six months before wearing off.

Why Should I Get BOTOX at the Dentist?

Dentists have extensive education, training, and hands-on experience when it comes to giving injections and navigating the muscles and nerves of the face. Receiving a BOTOX injection from an expert will reduce your risk of complications and undesirable results.
