Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, otherwise knows as TMJ, can be a painful and disabling condition. Botox isn't just for cosmetic purposes; it can also benefit your overall dental health, particularly in managing TMJ disorder.
The temporomandibular joint is located at the base of the skull. It connects the lower jaw and the temporal bone, which is on the side of the skull. It allows for the movement required for chewing and talking.
Botox can help by temporarily reducing jaw tension and can ease pain or other symptoms of TMDs. This can improve jaw movement and even the ability to chew. However, it is not a cure for TMDs.
