"I've been clenching my jaw ever since I was a child, and at 38, the clenching had become more frequent, especially during stressful times. The pain in my jaw, neck, and shoulders was constant, and I would wake up clenching so hard that I sometimes heard a clicking in my jaw. I decided to see Dr. A, who I had heard is a Botox for TMJ Specialist in San Francisco. He recommended Botox to treat the pain in my jaw along with a few other healing modalities.
I was nervous about the treatment, but Dr. A made me feel comfortable and at ease. The injections were almost painless, and the next day, my jaw was sore, but nothing that Advil couldn’t help. The real change started about day 5 after the treatment for me —I now wake up with my jaw much more relaxed and my pain has decreased by about 75%, and the best part is, my face feels more relaxed than it has in years. I’m so grateful for Dr. A’s expertise and the relief he’s provided me and excited to see how the results continue to improve over the coming weeks."

FAQ: Botox for TMJ Treatment
Does insurance cover Botox for TMJ?
