What is Botox?
Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is a neurotoxic protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Despite its origin as a potentially harmful substance, when used in controlled and diluted amounts, Botox has gained popularity for its therapeutic and cosmetic applications. In facial aesthetics, Botox is widely employed to temporarily paralyze or weaken specific muscles, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
By inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions, Botox helps smooth facial lines, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Beyond cosmetic purposes, we can use Botox for various medical conditions, including treating migraines, muscle spasms, and TMJ. Its versatility and effectiveness make Botox a widely embraced and well-established cosmetic and medical treatment in dentistry.
We believe it is most beneficial to our patients to utilize conservative options when treating facial pain. That's why we recommend that patients interested in Botox injections as a treatment approach for chronic migraine headaches or TMJ come in and meet with Dr. Hunt for a Complimentary Consultation. Dr. Kyle Hunt will review your condition, determine if you are a candidate for this treatment, and explain how we administer a course of treatment.
The frequency of administering injections is contingent upon the severity of the individual's condition.

Botox Therapeutic Treatment Overview
It is important to understand that treatment options for facial pain and headaches vary based on the type and cause of pain. At Personal Care Dentistry, we believe that it is most beneficial to our patients to utilize conservative options when treating facial pain. That’s why we recommend that patients interested in Botox injections as a treatment approach for chronic migraine headaches or TMJ come in and meet with Dr. Kyle for a Complimentary Consultation. Dr. Kyle will review your condition, determine if you are a candidate for this treatment, and explain how a course of therapeutic treatment is administered. The frequency of injections will depend on the severity of your condition.
Botox injections are being used more frequently in dental offices as therapeutic treatments for TMJ and chronic migraines. Studies have shown patients who received these injections experienced significant improvement in pain, function, ability to open their mouth, and levels of tenderness to palpation.
Treatment for Chronic Migraine Headaches
If you have a history of chronic migraines, then you know about the severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head, that identifies most migraine attacks. You may have also suffered some of the other unpleasant side-effects of a migraine – nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. According to the Mayo Clinic, migraine attacks can last for hours to days, and the pain can be so bad that it interferes with your daily activities. One out of 8 Americans suffers from migraine headaches.
Botulinum toxin to treat chronic migraines is given at intervals of about 12 weeks as multiple injections into seven specific head and neck sites to try to dull future headache symptoms.
Treatment for TMJ
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its associated muscles control chewing and movement of the jaw. It is a hinge joint connecting the mandible to the temporal bone of the skull. TMJ pain is often the result of issues with the joint and/or surrounding muscles including, but not limited to, grinding/clenching of teeth, stress in facial muscles, dislocation of the disc, arthritis or trauma to the jaw.
Symptoms of TMJ related facial pain include:
- Pain and tenderness in the face, jaw, neck, temples and shoulders
- Limited range of motion concerning the jaw
- Feeling of jaw being stuck or locked in position
- Clicking, popping sounds in the jaw when opening and closing
- Tense muscles in the face and neck
- Difficulty chewing or feeling teeth aren’t coming together properly
TMJ treatment through Botox injections can be used as a chronic pain treatment to alleviate TMJ headaches and all other pain and discomfort associated with TMJ.
