Relieve Jaw Pain and Tension Headaches with Botox

If you live with jaw pain, teeth grinding, or tension headaches, you know how draining it can be. These symptoms are often linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders—problems with the joint and muscles that move your jaw. At Cheltenham & Cotswold Dental, Dr Imi Nasser offers a modern, effective solution: Botox® therapy for TMJ pain.

How TMJ Issues Cause Pain

The TMJ works constantly whenever you chew, speak, or even clench your jaw. Overactivity or clenching can lead to:

• Chronic jaw pain and stiffness
• Headaches and facial tension
• Earaches or a feeling of pressure
• Tooth wear from night-time grinding (bruxism)

Stress, teeth alignment, or habits like clenching during sleep often make things worse.

How Botox Helps

Botox is well known for smoothing wrinkles, but it also has powerful therapeutic effects.

• Muscle Relaxation: Injected precisely into overactive jaw muscles, Botox helps them relax, breaking the cycle of clenching and grinding.
• Pain Reduction: By easing muscle tension, Botox relieves pain in the jaw, temples, and even the neck and shoulders.
• Protecting Teeth: Less grinding means less enamel wear and reduced risk of cracked teeth.

Quick, Precise and Minimally Invasive

Treatment is simple:

1. A detailed consultation and digital assessment of your bite and jaw movement.
2. A few virtually painless injections into key muscles.
3. No downtime & you can return to normal activities straight away.

Most patients feel noticeable relief within a few days, with results lasting three to four months. Regular maintenance can keep discomfort at bay and even help train the muscles to stay more relaxed long-term.
