Botox® for TMJ

Ask Us How We Can Help Ease the Pain of TMJ and Teeth Grinding

If you often wake up with a sore jaw or pounding headache, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to live with that discomfort. At our dental office in Newberg, we offer therapeutic Botox treatments designed to ease the pain caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders as well as teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching.

What’s Causing My Headaches?

If you often experience headaches that seem to start in your temples or jaw, the cause could be closer than you think. Clenching or grinding your teeth puts a lot of pressure on the muscles around your jaw. Over time, this tension can strain the TMJ), leading to soreness, tightness and headaches that just won’t go away. Many people don’t even realize they’re doing it, especially at night.

How Botox Can Help

You might know Botox as a cosmetic treatment, but it’s also a safe and effective medical solution for symptoms caused by TMJ disorders. When used therapeutically, Botox temporarily relaxes the overactive muscles in your jaw, reducing clenching, relieving tension and preventing headache pain at the source.

Benefits of TMJ Botox Treatment

Botox offers more than just cosmetic results. It can provide meaningful relief for people struggling with chronic jaw pain, tension headaches and the effects of teeth grinding:

What to Expect During Treatment

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and performed right here in our office. Most patients report little to no discomfort, and the results typically last three to four months. Best of all, you can get back to your day immediately. No downtime needed.

Is Botox Right for You?

If you’ve tried nightguards, pain relievers, or other treatments without lasting relief, Botox may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Dr. McLeod specializes in crafting personalized TMJ treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. We’ll take time to listen to your symptoms, evaluate your jaw health, and help you decide if therapeutic Botox is a good fit for your needs.
