Frequently Asked Questions
Traditionally we think of BOTOX® as a cosmetic treatment to address wrinkles, but science has found BOTOX® (Clostridium botulinum) in fact has many other beneficial clinical uses for patients because it can treat certain conditions by temporarily relaxing muscles that may be causing or exacerbating pain.
Therapeutic BOTOX® has been a recognized and approved treatment for migraines, tension-related headaches and oral-facial pain symptoms by the FDA and Health Canada for some time.
Given dentists spend years educating themselves on the anatomy associated with your bite, facial muscles and jaw, BOTOX® is being increasingly used in practices like ours to assist patients find relief from oral-facial pain and associated headaches or migraines.
Therapeutic BOTOX® is one of many management options available to individuals with chronic headaches, migraines or oral-facial pain. When other treatment options have proved unsuccessful or if you do not easily tolerate medications, Therapeutic BOTOX® therapy might be a good alternative.
