Anti-Wrinkle & TMJ Injections in Parramatta

tmj treatment parramatta | couple embracing Have you noticed fine lines and wrinkles when you look in the mirror recently? This is because our skin naturally loses elasticity as we age, and damage occurs from sun exposure, squinting and even smiling and laughing!

Rather than worry about wrinkles, we offer anti-wrinkle injections as a solution for a more youthful appearance.

How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?

You have likely heard the jokes about anti-wrinkle injections, but you do not have to worry about having a frozen expression. Anti-wrinkle injections are gentle and work by relaxing the muscles in the face and making them less active.

The injections only require a very slender needle, so pain is minimal. The injections take a few days to a week to reach full potency, and the lines take some time to smooth out. Their effects last between 3-6 months when you can return to Painfree Dentistry to maintain the results.

Benefits of Facial Injections for TMJ Pain

TMJ pain can be debilitating and interfere with your ability to chew food and live in general comfort. Below, we share a few ways facial injections in Harris Park can help.

Better Pain Relief

Carefully administered facial injections may allow you to enjoy your time without the pain and discomfort you've grown accustomed to since TMJ.

Reduced Muscle Spasms

Muscle spasms can be part of untreated TMJ. The dentist can evaluate your case to see if facial injections might relax these problematic episodes.

Improved Jaw Function

Facial injections aim to restore jaw joint function, making chewing, yawning, and speaking less of a chore. Talk to your Harris Park dentist.

Facial Injections for TMJ Pain

tmj treatment parramatta | couple smiling If you have a bruxism (teeth grinding) habit, facial injections used to relax wrinkles can also relax the large jaw muscles that cause headaches and tightness in the face, head, neck and shoulders.

By relaxing these powerful jaw muscles, facial tension and pain reduce, and the jaws produce less force when bruxing during sleep. Facial injections are also known for relieving tension headaches and morning headaches due to clenching and grinding.

Having facial injections by a qualified dentist makes perfect sense since dentists are uniquely familiar with the muscle anatomy of the face. With precise treatment, you can achieve jaw joint pain relief and relief from teeth grinding without many of the undesirable side effects of oral muscle relaxer medications.

As with anti-wrinkle treatments, you will need to return to your Parramatta dentist for re-treatment to maintain the effects.
