botox treatment for bruxism
Botox injections are regularly recommended by dentists as a safe and effective treatment for teeth grinding.
We are highly experienced in performing Botox injections to relax the masseter muscles in the jaw for an effective treatment which eases the muscle tension, reduces enlarged masseter muscle size and helps reduce teeth grinding (bruxism).
Teeth grinding can prematurely wear down tooth enamel and cause extensive damage to teeth, as well as causing a lot of jaw tension and pain.
In our experience, bruxism treatment results can be life-changing for clients who are suffering with jaw pain caused by teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only procedure and will only be performed following our face-to-face medical consultation.

frequently asked questions
Is Botox for teeth grinding safe?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) has been used for a multitude of medical treatments for over 30 years, in both adults and children. It has been licensed for cosmetic purposes for over 15 years, including for teeth grinding (bruxism), with a second-to-none safety profile. Botox injections are a very safe cosmetic treatment when performed by a medical professional. The treatment itself uses a prescription-only medically regulated toxin, so it can only be administered by a qualified medical professional, such as Independent Nurse Prescriber, Rosie Cooper.
Who can have Botox treatment?
Botox treatment for teeth grinding may be suitable for anyone suffering from bruxism, pain and tension in over-enlarged masseter muscles in the jaw. Botox treatment will only be prescribed after a medical consultation. Please note that key contraindications include pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects of Botox treatment are minimal and temporary. You might experience a small amount of redness which quickly reduces and/or localised bruising, which are both possibilities with any kind of injection. Botox injections are known as one of the 'lunch-break' cosmetic procedures since they are relatively quick with no real recovery time needed, and you can get on with the rest of your day following treatment. If you ever have any questions or concerns following any procedure, please do not hesitate to contact us - we are always happy to assist and place great importance on your post-procedure care.
Are Botox injections in the jaw painful?
Botox injections into the masseter muscles are only mildly uncomfortable but, as with all injectable treatments at our Oxford and Leamington Spa clinics, we take pain relief very seriously and use the best anaesthetic creams available, applying topically as required prior to injecting.
When can I expect to see results?
It takes around 2-3 weeks for Botox results to take full effect; although some people may see or feel some results more quickly.
How long does Botox last?
Botox results are not permanent, and the effects wear off over time. It is recommended that to maintain the results of Botox injections you would have treatment 2-3 times a year, in order to keep the treatment refined and topped up, rather than letting results totally diminish and starting again from scratch. Many clients with bruxism re-book when they feel tension returning. This approach helps to give you the best results for the longest period.
