What is Dental Botox?

Dental Botox involves the use of botulinum toxin injections for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes related to oral health. Dentists use Botox to treat conditions like TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, and gummy smiles. With their deep understanding of facial muscles and oral anatomy, dentists are uniquely qualified to administer these treatments effectively.
