Fraccaro Dental Group offers BOTOX® to treat TMJ pain caused by dental issues. Our BOTOX® treatment is offered by Dr. Alexis Fraccaro.

BOTOX® for TMJ Treatment

BOTOX® is injected into the temporalis and masseter muscles that cause jaw pain and headaches. BOTOX® blocks the nerve signals that trigger uncontrollable muscle movements, leading to muscle relaxation. BOTOX® injections reduce the ability of facial muscles to engage in painful grinding. Those suffering from TMJ problems will find substantial relief.

Trusted Feedback

Prompt Dental Services

‘The staff at Fraccaro in Binbrook got us in promptly when our son had a dental emergency after cracking his molar from a soccer injury. They weren’t able to fix it at that location but made sure he was able to be seen by another colleague at Fraccaro Stonechurch and he was amazing with our little guy. He knew that he was anxious and he coached him through the entire procedure making it such a positive experience! Thank you to everyone at both offices who are always so caring!’
