If you are experiencing persistent jaw pain, headaches, or migraines that interfere with your daily life, you are not alone. Many individuals suffer from these symptoms, often linked to Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) or chronic migraines. At Babylon Dental Care’s Patchogue office, we proudly offer Xeomin — a treatment option designed to help relieve discomfort associated with these conditions and improve your daily quality of life.
Understanding TMD and Its Impact
TMD involves issues with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles that control jaw movement. When the TMJ or surrounding muscles become irritated or misaligned, it can cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Facial pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Ear pain or fullness
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Dizziness or vertigo
The team at Babylon Dental Care’s Patchogue office understands how disruptive these symptoms can be. We are here to provide personalized care and solutions tailored to your unique needs.
TMD may be influenced by factors such as teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw injury, arthritis, or stress-related muscle tension. Without treatment, TMD can significantly affect daily activities, sleep quality, and overall well-being.
The Link Between TMD and Migraines
Research has shown a strong connection between TMD and chronic migraines. Shared nerve pathways between the jaw and head can contribute to the development and severity of migraine headaches. At Babylon Dental Care’s Patchogue office, we focus on identifying underlying causes and offering treatments that help address both TMD and associated migraine symptoms.
How Xeomin Can Help
Xeomin is an FDA-approved neurotoxin treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. It works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, helping to reduce strain and tension. When injected into specific muscles of the jaw and face, Xeomin can alleviate the muscle overactivity associated with TMD and migraine symptoms.
At Babylon Dental Care’s Patchogue office, Xeomin is administered with precision and care. By reducing muscle tension, patients often experience improvements in:
- Jaw discomfort
- Facial pain
- Headache frequency and severity
- Muscle strain contributing to migraines
The treatment process is minimally invasive. After a thorough evaluation at Babylon Dental Care’s Patchogue office, Xeomin is administered using fine injections into key muscle areas. Most patients begin to experience relief within several days as the muscles gradually relax.
