If you hear the word “Botox,” you might automatically think of improving your appearance. Fixing your forehead wrinkles. Smoothing out crow’s feet. Things like that. Not going to the dentist for jaw pain. However, Carlos L. Benavides Davila, DDS, is changing the perception people have about Botox at Buena Vida Dental Studio. He uses dental Botox to give his patients relief from jaw pain and stress headaches.
With Botox, you’re not signing up for a big surgery. No long recovery. The appointment typically lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. In and out, quickly. Get some relief, head straight back to your day. Real relief from your jaw pain, but without putting your life on hold. Zero downtime.
Botox basically tells your overworked jaw muscles to chill out. It does this by blocking the nerve signals that make your jaw muscles clench so hard. Think of it like putting those muscles on a little vacation. No prep needed, and you can get right back to your life the same day you get your treatment at Buena Vida Dental Studio.
One of the main causes of tension headaches is jaw clenching. When you clench, the muscles start to get exhausted and tight. That tension then radiates right up to your head. By relaxing that muscle, you’re removing some of the strain. The result is that many of your headache problems may disappear.
Dr. Benavides is an expert in all the muscles of the face and jaw. He knows how your bite works. He can feel those overworked muscles and pinpoint the exact spot causing your pain and discomfort. It’s not guesswork. Dr. Benavides’ education enables him to provide you with precise results.Â
Botox isn’t a permanent fix (for anything you use it for). In jaw pain, it’s a treatment for the symptoms, not the root problem. Your relief usually lasts between four and six months. To keep the pain from coming back, you’ll need to schedule appointments a few times a year. Part of your long-term routine for managing your pain.
Botox is super adaptable. One of the things people love most about this treatment is that it’s quick, and you don’t have any downtime afterward. And of course, Botox isn’t just for jaw pain.
