I would love to have Botox to stop my teeth grinding . I have spent a fortune on my teeth over the years and I am extremely harsh on them. I even bite down hard on my splint at night which is not good for my front crowns. Wondering how successful is it ? Will it change to look of my face at all ? And how do I find someone who has a lot of experience either in Brisbane or Sydney . I am flying to Sydney in the morning and would love to get it done whilst I'm there if possible .

Although extremely rare, Botox can migrate and possibly cause loss of bladder control. This would most likely manifest itself as incontinence. I'm not a urologist, but I don't think that incontinence leads to a UTI very often. I would think that urinary retention would be a more likely culprit....
