Botox is a neuromodulator, which means it’s a chemical that helps relax muscles that are causing a person pain. When injected into the jaw muscles that are responsible for clenching and grinding, Botox can help reduce or eliminate the painful symptoms caused by TMD. This is particularly effective because Botox works very quickly – it generally takes just a few short days to notice an improvement during the first few days after being injected. This quick onset of action makes Botox an excellent treatment option for someone who is suffering from the symptoms of a painful temporomandibular joint disorder and needs relief as soon as possible.
