Benefits of Receiving Botox at the Dentist

Most people know about Botox thanks to its ability to correct fine lines and rejuvenate their appearance, making them look younger and feel much more confident in themselves. But did you know you can also get Botox at the dentist’s office?

Many dentists are trained and licensed to perform Botox injections, so getting them at a dentist’s office is perfectly safe. There are some compelling benefits to getting Botox from a dentist:

Can Improve Your Overall Facial Appearance

Getting Botox from your dentist can mean you are getting the right advice as to how these injections can affect your smile, particularly if the site of the injections is around the mouth or cheek muscles.

Your dentist has a very good understanding of how the mouth and muscles in your face work and can help you make the right choices with your Botox injections. You can receive the rejuvenated look you want without worrying about noticeable changes in your smile.

Or, you can specifically change your smile, if this is what you’re looking for. Botox can be used, for example, to reduce a gummy smile by relaxing the lip muscles so they don’t expose the upper gum area as much when you smile, leading to a more visually-pleasing one.

It’s Highly Convenient

Getting Botox or other facial fillers from your dentist is a very convenient way to enhance your look.

A lot of practices will offer several other services that can improve your appearance, such as teeth whitening procedures or ways to address crooked or misaligned teeth. Instead of visiting multiple specialists to address all these needs, you simply have to go to the same practice. 

What’s more, the treatment process is streamlined too, as the dentist can take into account your expected outcomes when recommending the procedures, leading to much better results.

Address TMJ and Jaw Pain

Botox isn’t just a way to rejuvenate your appearance, however. It can also be used to address temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and jaw pains as well. Many patients report great improvements after their Botox treatments, as the toxin paralyzes key muscles in the face that surround the jaw, allowing it to relax and reduce pain symptoms.

So if you are dealing with jaw pain or even TMJ, Botox might be an unexpected way to address this problem and experience some much-needed relief!
