Why Choose Premier Dental For BOTOX® for TMJ/TMD?

What is TMJ Dysfunction?

TMD is a medical condition that effects the function of the joints that connect your jaw to your skull, known as your temporomandibular joints. When these joints sustain extra tension and force due to bite misalignment, a past jaw injury, or an improperly placed restoration, it can cause one joint to take on more work than the other, resulting in discomfort and a wide array of symptoms. If you experience any effects of this condition, schedule an appointment with our office as soon as possible so we can examine your jaw and determine the underlying cause of your TMD.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® in Vero Beach is the brand name of an injection that is a diluted bacteria, called botulinum toxin. When injected into a muscle, BOTOX® allows it to relax and release tension from being overworked. It also prevents a signal from travelling to the nerves of your muscles to your brain, providing relief from discomfort and instructing them to relax.

Treating TMJ Dysfunction with BOTOX®

Dr. Adam Jones and Dr. Giuliana Diaz Jones both offer BOTOX® injections to help target overworked and tension-filled jaw muscles to provide your temporomandibular joints with much-needed relief. Depending on the severity of your condition, we’ll determine how many injections are necessary and administer them once we’ve discussed the therapy plan with you. The injections don’t interfere with the normal movement of your jaw while biting, chewing, and speaking, so you won’t need to worry about unwanted after-effects.
