Therapeutic Botox in Fort Lauderdale

Relieve Jaw Pain & Tension

At Tarpon River Dental, we offer Therapeutic Botox® as an innovative solution for patients experiencing jaw pain, TMJ disorders, chronic headaches, and teeth grinding (bruxism). While Botox is commonly known for its cosmetic benefits, it also serves as an effective treatment for relaxing overactive muscles and alleviating discomfort related to dental and facial conditions.

By carefully administering Botox to targeted facial muscles, we can reduce tension, ease muscle contractions, and prevent the strain that leads to pain.
