TMJ, Sleep Apnea & Snoring Relief
The symptoms of TMJ disorders affect more than your teeth and jaw

- Popping or clicking in the jaw when chewing or talking (can often be painful)
- Limited ability to open or close the jaw (lockjaw)
- Swelling in the face
- Neck and/or shoulder pain
- Headaches/migraines and toothaches
- Earaches and ringing in the ears
The Solution to pain relief?
BOTOX & Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators such as Botox have been administered by dentists for years.
Most people know neuromodulators as a beauty-enhancing product that gets rid of wrinkles and fine lines inthe face. That’s true, it is! But think about what neuromodulators, such as Botox does — it temporarily preventsnerve cell signals from reaching your muscles and reduces abnormal muscle contractions. With this in mind,you can understand how it can be useful for relaxing the muscles around your jaw, too.
In fact, Botox and other neuromodulators, has a long history of medically therapeutic uses, all involvingmuscular conditions. Currently, neurommodulators have been used to treat over 20 different medicalconditions, and there are more than 6 million Botox and neuromoddulator treatments administered each year.Injections have been administered in dentists’ offices throughout the US for many years now. Some dentistsoffer Botox as the finishing touch to a cosmetic dental treatment.
Here in our office, the use of Botox in dentistry stems from one important goal… relieving TMJ pain and helpingyou feel your very best.
Botox for TMJ can be highly effective. One 2012 study found that Botox treatments significantly decreased painand increased mouth movements for three months following the treatment. Another study found thatsymptoms improved in 90 percent of participants.
“ I LOVE MY BOTOX! I have suffered from TMJ induced headaches and jaw pain for years. My dentist, Dr. Mangrum, suggested I try Botox injections and I will be forever grateful. The pain is gone and I have gotten my life back. To say it’s been a relief is not enough, for me it’s been a game-changer. ” Gina P.

HATE YOUR C-PAP? MOST PEOPLE DO
Sleep Apnea is treated in many ways. One of the ways is a CPAP machine which forces air into your airways while you sleep. Most people are un- comfortable with the device, sounds and maintenance of the bulky device. Because of this, the compliance re- sults are low and many people are not getting the treatment they need simply because they do not use the device.
