Botox applications in dentistry are among the procedures used to assist treatment in certain situations. Botox (botolinum toxin) is a procedure that paralyzes the muscles for a certain period of time and causes restriction of movement in the area where the procedure is performed. In addition to its functions such as removing and preventing wrinkles, reducing the working speed of sweat glands, it is also applied especially to people with bruxism (teeth grinding). Botox for the treatment of teeth grinding is one of the applications of dentistry.
What are the areas of use of botox in dentistry? The problem of teeth grinding can cause great damage to the teeth. As a result of this grinding, problems such as fracture, cracking and yellowing of the teeth are possible. The micro cracks on the tooth surface becoming open to bacteria also brings tooth decay problems. People with severe teeth grinding problems may even encounter problems such as jawbone fracture.
Botox can help treat these problems by temporarily relaxing the jaw muscles. An experienced dentist with adequate training in this field can relax the jaw muscles with Botox injections and thus reduce grinding and jaw muscle tension. By applying to EB Smile, you will be able to have the treatment procedure, also known as “masseter botox“, which eliminates the problem of teeth grinding.
Masseter Botox is used to help treat overdevelopment (hypertrophy) of the jaw muscles or to help treat conditions such as teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw muscle tension. This Botox treatment is performed by a dentist or specialist aesthetic physician. During the procedure, botulinum toxin is injected at specific points. These injections temporarily reduce the activity of the masseter muscle and make it work with less force.
Masseter botox is a quick procedure that usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Post-procedure effects usually start within a week or two and the duration of the effect may vary from person to person. On average, the effect is expected to last for about six months. At the end of this period, the muscles gradually return to their former strength, but this procedure can be renewed at the end of this period.
You can have your botox procedure used in dentistry done through the experienced dentists of EB Smile and thus get rid of the problem of teeth grinding and other problems caused by it.
