WE ACCEPT WORKERS COMPENSATION DENTAL CLAIMS!!!

When you hear that someone suffered a workplace accident, you probably think of a back sprain, shoulder injury, or meniscus tear in the knee. But some workplace accidents cause injuries to the teeth, mouth, and jaws. When you suffer a dental injury, you need immediate dental attention. 

After a work accident you should seek medical attention. Depending on the extent of your injuries, you may be taken to a local hospital. Many hospitals do not have the equipment and staff to handle work-related dental injuries and may tell you to see a dentist as soon as possible.

 If you hurt your teeth, mouth, or jaws and the hospital tells you to wait to receive treatment, make sure that it’s documented in your file that you suffered a dental injury at work. Employers and insurance companies may deny coverage and force you to prove your case at a workers compensation hearing if the initial medical records fail to mention a dental injury.

 Many of you will experience dental problems right after your work accident. But sometimes it takes days, weeks, or months for your dental injuries to show up.

We are the dentist that take work comp no matter if it right after the injury or few months later as long as the treatment plan get approved.

Botox Sydney

As leading cosmetician BOTOX SYDNEY and TMJ dentist, we use Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA), made by Merz Pharmaceuticals, for the treatment of adults with cervical dystonia or blepharospasm ad frown lines between the eyebrows. IncobotulinumtoxinA has less resistance development in comparison to other Botox such as Dysport. This product has higher temperature stability and predictable results.

Botox

What is Botox cosmetic treatment?

Botox is used for anti-aging process. With aging, one would notice more facial lines, sagging, hollowing of features and flattening of bones.

Botox injection is consisting of Botulinum toxin that relaxes muscles which eliminate fine lines.  The most commonly used are in forehead lines, frown lines, crows’ feet, marionette lines, chin pitting and more commonly used in dentistry are TMJ treatment for bruxism, teeth grinding, teeth clenching, migraines, Jaw pain, muscle pain.

Usage of Botox injection

TMJ pain, Jaw pain and Migraines can be effectively treated with BOTOX injections to reduce the hyperactivity of these muscles. The most common injections are to the masseter and temporalis muscle injections. These are the clenching muscles that cause damages to teeth, joint pain, jaw pain and sleepless nights.

Botox on lips or in lips are effective for smoker’s lines, fine lines around the lip region.

How long does Botox last?

Xeomin or Botox, either treatment generally last between 3-4 months. As frequent dosage is repeated, sometimes, a lesser dosage is required when the masseter muscles atrophy and less Botox is required. We use XEOMIN®, as it does last longer than BOTOX®. However, it only lasts a couple of weeks longer. Individuals have a variation of results depending on how they metabolise the products.

Xeomin is the most similar to Botox when measuring units to units, whereas Dysport requires more units at a lower cost per unit. Dysport is more unstable. Both Botox and Xeomin require up to two weeks for full treatment. Xeomin has a much quicker onset for those patients wanting faster results.

How expensive is Botox for forehead?

It depends on the clinical presented and what type of Botox is used. Generally, Botox treatment cost is based on the per-unit cost used.

TMJ patients who are suffering from jaw pain and migraines, has effective results from having BOTOX injections to the masseter muscles, Temporalis muscles. These treatments must have a sufficient amount of BOTOX for therapeutic use. The dosage use in these muscles are much higher than the dosage used in the forehead. As muscles of mastication are more powerful and stronger, they require more units than the facial muscles for rejuvenation.

The actual injection is fairly quick, you will feel a pinch from the injections. Within a few days, you will begin to notice a visible smoothing of lines or less power to your grinding muscles. In migraine and TMJ cases, most feel no more headache, migraine and jaw pain. Xeomin is a technique-sensitive treatment, you should be treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. It's important to talk to Dr Lisa Chong about the results you want from treatment.

Some medications and fish oils also affect results, please inform Dr Lisa Chong about this prior to having BOTOX injection.

And if you are pregnant, please inform your doctor as well. Certain medical conditions are contraindicated for BOTOX injections. Please advise your BOTOX practitioner any pre-existing medical condition.

The Foundation for A Great Smile

Gingivitis affects most people at some time during their life. It is usually caused by a build-up of plaque on teeth. There are two main stages of gum disease, Gingivitis and Periodontitis.

Gingivitis is early gum disease and occurs when dental plaque builds up on teeth, particularly where the gum joins the tooth. Periodontitis is an advanced gum disease that may occur if gingivitis is not treated. The gum margin, the part of the gum that seals to the tooth, is weakened and spaces form between the tooth and the gum. These spaces are called ‘periodontal pockets.’ Bacteria become trapped in these pockets causing further inflammation (redness and swelling).

Five Stages of Gum Disease

In addition to maintaining the health of your gums, we can assist you with Bad Breath caused due to gum disease. Ask us about Gingivitis and Periodontal disease, receding gums, lose or sensitive teeth associated with Gum disease, gum treatments, bleeding gums and prevention.
