How are cosmetic injectables used to treat TMD?

If you suffer from jaw pain, headaches or tension caused by temporomandibular disorder (TMD), you may be surprised to learn that therapeutic muscle relaxant injections can provide relief. At Bell Hill Dental, we offer TMD treatment in Dunedin using Dysport cosmetic injectables to relax overactive jaw muscles and ease discomfort.

How Do Cosmetic Injectables Help with TMD?

TMD often results from excessive jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism) or muscle tension. Cosmetic injectables, typically used for wrinkle reduction, can also temporarily relax the jaw muscles. This helps reduce strain and alleviates pain.

Here’s how our injectables work:

  • Reduces Jaw Clenching and Teeth Grinding – Injectables prevent unconscious clenching and protect teeth from damage. 
  • Eases Jaw Pain and Headaches – Many TMD sufferers experience frequent headaches or facial pain due to muscle tension. Injectables can help by softening overworked muscles.
  • Improves Jaw Function – Relaxing the jaw muscles can reduce stiffness, so it can help make it easier to chew and speak comfortably.
