At Babylon Dental Care’s West Babylon office, we understand how disruptive jaw pain, tension, and chronic headaches can be. Many patients live with these symptoms every day, often due to conditions such as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) or bruxism. To help provide relief, we offer Xeomin treatments as part of a non-surgical approach to managing facial muscle discomfort.
Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable that works by relaxing specific muscles. This helps reduce tension and ease the pain caused by overactive muscle movement in the jaw and face.
What Is TMD?
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder affects the joints and muscles that control jaw movement. When these areas become irritated or imbalanced, they can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
- Jaw soreness or tightness
- Facial pain
- Headaches or migraines
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking comfortably
- Neck and shoulder discomfort
- Tinnitus or a feeling of fullness in the ears
At Babylon Dental Care’s West Babylon office, our team carefully evaluates your symptoms to determine whether muscle activity may be contributing to your discomfort. If appropriate, we may recommend Xeomin as part of your care.
How Xeomin Helps
Xeomin is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles. For patients who struggle with jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or persistent facial tension, Xeomin can help by:
- Reducing excessive muscle activity
- Relieving facial discomfort and tightness
- Lowering the frequency and intensity of headaches related to muscle strain
Treatment is minimally invasive. After a consultation and clinical assessment, Xeomin is administered through a series of small injections in specific areas of the jaw or face. Many patients begin to notice improvement within several days as the treated muscles begin to relax.
What to Expect at Babylon Dental Care’s West Babylon Office
If Xeomin is recommended, our team will ensure your treatment is personalized and delivered with precision. We are happy to answer your questions and explain each step before moving forward.
In some cases, for patients who require a deeper level of relaxation during other dental procedures, a certified anesthesiologist may be available to provide additional sedation at an added cost.
Our focus is on helping you feel comfortable and supported throughout your care.
