Overview
What Is Botox & Medical Filling?
For jaw joint issues like teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism), Botox is used to relax the overworked chewing muscle — which can reduce muscle-related headaches and jaw pain.
As a complement to cosmetic dental treatment, Botox and medical filling can also be applied to facial muscles around the smile line to soften fine lines.
