Botox and Dermal Fillers as Therapeutic Agents in Dentistry
When it comes to being an expert in orofacial anatomy, you won’t find many other professionals that are more equipped to care for their patients than a dentist. It’s the same when it comes to managing soft tissues and muscles around the mouth and throughout other areas of the face.
As such, dentists can safely and effectively implement drugs like Botox, aesthetic injectables, and other dermal fillers in their patient care techniques.
Enhancing Facial Features
When combined with cosmetic bonding, dental veneers, and gingival recontouring, injectables and fillers complete the “frame” of the beautiful smile you’ve created for your patients.
Depending on the state that you’re practicing, dentists are able to utilize fillers and injectables like Botox to reduce the appearance of things like:
- Crow’s feet
- Gummy smiles
- Frown lines
- Thinning lips
- Facial creases and wrinkles
Functional Benefits for TMJD
Injectable drugs like Botox can be extremely useful when treating or managing disorders of the TMJ. It’s also effective for bruxism, myofacial pain, and even some types of headaches. Although the results aren’t immediate (they tend to take a bit of time before full effectiveness is reached) they can provide palliative care for up to a few months at a time…or longer, when combined with other injectables.
