You may know Botox as a way to remove wrinkles, so you likely associate this treatment with a medical spa or cosmetic surgeon. But, did you know that Botox has many uses in dentistry and can help with everything from the appearance of your smile to relieving jaw pain?
Dental Botox can be used as a standalone treatment or in connection with other procedures, such as dermal fillers, to achieve excellent aesthetic results. We also use Botox in our office to address painful symptoms from TMJ disorders (TMD).

What Is Botox?
Botox is a substance created using purified botulinum toxin. This term might sound familiar as Botox is actually created from the same toxin as botulism. However, Botox injections are a safe form when administered by a doctor or dentist.
Botox injections prevent muscle movement for short periods of time, so this treatment is often used to smooth wrinkles, treat neck pain, reduce sweating, and lessen migraines. There are many different uses for Botox, and it has become more popular in the dental field to address various cosmetic and general dentistry issues.
How Is Botox Used In Dentistry?
At Rudnick Dentistry, we utilize Botox to help our patients have more comfortable, beautiful, and youthful smiles.
Some of the ways we use Botox to help our patients include:
- Changing the shape of your lip line
- Reducing tension from TMD, migraines, or facial pain
- Treating bruxism (teeth grinding) cases as Botox relaxes muscles
- Lessening wrinkles, frown lines, and other cosmetic issues around the mouth
