In recent times, you may have observed an increasing number of dental practices expanding their range of services beyond traditional dental care. From dental surgery to cosmetic procedures, the variety of treatments available might surprise you. At Southbridge Dental Care, one treatment that particularly captures people's interest is Botox®. Let's explore how Botox and dentistry complement each other.


Cosmetic Benefits

First and foremost, let's consider the most apparent benefit: cosmetic enhancement. Many individuals opt for Botox to enhance their facial aesthetics. As dentists, we are concerned not only with the beauty of your smile but also with the overall appearance of your face, including features like lip size and shape and facial lines, which significantly contribute to your smile's aesthetics. Given our expertise in working with the facial region, we are well-equipped to administer Botox effectively.


Therapeutic Applications

Contrary to common belief, Botox serves purposes beyond cosmetic improvements. Botox treatments can also address specific dental issues. For example, while mouthguards are typically associated with treating teeth grinding and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD), Botox can also help alleviate associated discomfort. Additionally, Botox can be beneficial in managing general facial pain and migraine headaches by relaxing the muscles in the affected area, preventing clenching and pain.


Moreover, Botox can aid patients in adapting to new dentures. While adjusting to dentures usually takes time, Botox can facilitate this transition by relaxing the muscles during the adjustment period.
