Botox® For Clenching, Grinding, Headache & Neck Pain
BOTOX® or botulinum toxin commonly known for its cosmetic applications, is a FDA-approved method for treating certain conditions, including chronic migraine headaches, facial pain, TMJ temporomandibular joint pain to name a few. The use of BOTOX® for these purposes is based on its ability to temporarily decrease the activity of the muscles responsible for these certain types of pain.

For a number of years, BOTOX® has been FDA-approved for use in head and neck pain, as well as for dental related therapies. BOTOX® reduces the amount of muscle tension responsible for head, neck, and jaw pain which can cause teeth grinding during awake and sleeping hours.
More and more, BOTOX® is used as an alternative treatment for TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) disorders and associated jaw tension and pain that comes with TMJ. When injected into the sore facial muscles, the TMJ and jaw tension are relived thus eliminating headaches caused by teeth grinding and stress.
If you are considering BOTOX® for facial pain or headaches, we, Dr. Nazanin Hakim and Dr. Mahsa Hakim, can evaluate your specific condition, medical history, and overall health to determine if BOTOX® is a suitable treatment option for you.
