What are the Uses for Botox® in Lewisburg Dentistry?

added on: February 11, 2023

At Union Dental Health, we love offering Lewisburg Juvederm® and Botox® because we’re able to do it discreetly (if you want to erase wrinkles) or as part of your treatment plan to help with other issues that we’ll dive into here. Just a reminder that it’s always a good idea to do your homework on any dentist in the Susquehanna Valley offering Botox®. Make sure your choice is certified and highly trained. (Like Dr. Scott Bonomo and team at Union Dental Health.)

Here are some common uses for Botox® by your dentist:

1) Jaw Pain – Some people are unable to find relief from TMJ or jaw pain and no one should have to live that way. We can use Botox® to specifically target areas causing discomfort by relaxing tight or spasming jaw muscles. 

2) Migraines – If you suffer from chronic migraines every month, then Botox® in Lewisburg could be a solution you’ll want to try, especially if you’ve been to specialists, taken pills, and tried everything but you’re still at the mercy of your migraine pain. 

3) Grinding – Also referred to as bruxism, teeth grinding can cause serious muscle pain and tenderness as a side effect of excessive use.  Botox® therapy can help relax the muscles and reduce your discomfort from grinding. 

4) “Gummy Smile” – Some patients benefit from Botox® if they have what’s called a “gummy smile” or one that’s uneven in terms of how much gums we see when you grin. Lewisburg Botox® can target uneven smile lines and excessive gums. 

5) Fine Lines – Botox® is probably the most known for its ability to erase wrinkles and make you look years younger. We can target your lips, forehead, marionette lines, and so much more. You’ll be amazed at how different you look after just one visit.

According to a review published by the Journal of International Oral Health (JIOH), Botox® is now being used to correct all kinds of dental conditions. As long as Botox® treatments are being used by dental professionals as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

That’s what we have to offer you at Union Dental Health. If you live in or around the Susquehanna Valley and have been searching for someone to talk to about all of this, call us for easy, accessible Botox® in Lewisburg. We’ll introduce you to Kristen Snyder, RN, an Aesthetic Nurse certified and highly trained in all of this and more.
