Is muscle relaxant treatment safe for dental use?

Muscle Relaxant Treatment is safe for dental use when administered by a trained and licensed professional like our team members at Lumino Smiles.

In dentistry, Muscle Relaxant Therapy offers several therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. It can effectively treat conditions such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, bruxism (teeth grinding) and gummy smiles. By relaxing the muscles responsible for these issues, Muscle Relaxant Therapy can reduce pain, prevent further dental damage and improve the overall appearance of your smile.

How Does Muscle Relaxant Therapy Work? 

Muscle Relaxant Therapy works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, causing them to relax. This can alleviate jaw tension and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders, reducing headaches and facial pain. For patients who grind their teeth, Muscle Relaxant Therapy can minimise the pressure exerted by the jaw muscles, protecting teeth from excessive wear and potential fractures.

Cosmetically, Muscle Relaxant Therapy can enhance your smile by addressing a gummy smile, where excessive gum tissue is visible when smiling. By relaxing the upper lip muscles, Muscle Relaxant Therapy can help create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
