If you're looking to get Botox, but don't want to see a dermatologist and pay hundreds of dollars per treatment, you may be thinking, "Can dentists do Botox?" The short answer is yes. In fact, many dentists and other providers offer injectable fillers like Restylane, Juvéderm, and Voluma in their offices.
Botox is a neurotoxin that paralyzes muscles, which reduces their ability to contract and cause wrinkles. It can be injected into the muscles of your face to relax them and reduce fine lines, or it can be injected into the muscles of your neck and jaw with the goal of reducing pain and tension produced by repetitive activities such as chewing or talking.
Dentists can also use Botox injections in conjunction with other treatments like braces or dental implants to help patients who have TMJ disorders (painful jaw joints) find relief from their symptoms.
Dentists have been trained in many different types of procedures including fillings, extractions, root canals, and more. Botox injections are one more tool in their arsenal to help patients look their best.
