Uses of Neuromodulators in Dentistry

  • TMJ Disorders:
  • Neuromodulators help alleviate pain from temporomandibular joint disorders by relaxing the surrounding muscles, reducing stress and spasms.

  • Bruxism (Teeth Grinding):
  • By diminishing the severity of muscular contractions, neuromodulators can prevent further tooth damage and alleviate pain associated with teeth grinding.

  • Facial Pain:
  • Chronic facial pain can be managed with neuromodulator injections, which relax the muscles causing the pain, enhancing your overall quality of life.
