What Is Dental Botox? How Does It Help?

You’ve probably already heard about its cosmetic benefits, but dental botox has only just started gaining popularity.

Botox in dentistry is starting to gain some serious momentum because experts have now gained experience with the ability to produce natural-looking and precise changes in facial structures and muscles.

This process allows interested customers to correct gummy/upside down smiles, puckered chins, and lip lines. However, it is crucial that specific facial muscles are corrected. Mistakes and lack of experience tend to create strange, frozen, and awkward results.

What is Botox?

Many of you may have heard of Botox as the treatment that revolves around getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines on skin. In reality, however, Botox is a trademarked name for ‘botulinum toxin A’, which is actually a type of food poisoning, but was found to be able to help people improve their aesthetic appearance.

When a patient receives a Botox injection, Botulinum toxin A temporarily paralyzes the recipient’s facial muscles. How does this help? When these muscles are temporarily paralyzed, the wrinkles over the skin disappear.

What Is Botox In Dentistry?

Every year, over 6 million people opt for Botox treatments and most of them are handed out by plastic surgeons or other similar professionals. Since dentists are the professionals to go to for facial structures and muscles, why not trust them with this planned paralysis?

Dentists receive years of training to master the ability to produce very natural-looking and precise results as compared to other Botox providers. For this reason, dental botox is your chance of treating upside down/gummy smiles, puckered chins, and lip lines with the help of someone who has been trained in maxillofacial and oral health.

Simply put, dental botox is the safest method of receiving Botox treatments.
