TMJ & Botox in Arroyo Grande, CA

Managing TMJ can be challenging, with muscle pain often resulting from nighttime teeth clenching and grinding. Getting a night guard from Perry Patel DDS can effectively alleviate these symptoms associated with parafunctional movements. This custom appliance not only helps minimize clenching and grinding but also provides substantial protection against tooth wear caused by these habits.

Dr. Perry Patel is certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) to administer Botox for TMJ Pain

Botox in dentistry is used to correct a wide range of orofacial conditions such as tooth clenching and grinding, tongue tension, temporomandibular joint disorders, commonly referred to as TMJ, and other disorders that involve chewing, the tongue, ability to open and close the jaw and the headaches that accompany these conditions.

Botox is used in appropriately certified dental offices as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
