Diagnosed with Tinnitus, all roads seem to point to bruxism / teeth grinding from stress. Which, doctor, dentist, plastic, oral facial, or dermatologist, would provide service? Will insurance cover Botox for this use? Thank you

Botox is definitely an effective treatment for Bruxism. Typically, 20-30 units are administered to each Masseter muscle. The treatment greatly reduces the effects of Bruxism, including grinding, and clenching, but will not affect your ability to chew food normally. Results can last 4-6 months....
Thank you for your question. No, this will not help dissipate Botox sooner. It can take 3-6 months for Botox to completely wear off. I recommend having a follow up with your injector to address your concerns. Best of Luck!
Thank you for your question. No, having a cold will not affect the results or duration of Botox. It can take up to 2 weeks to see the maximum effects of Botox and results typically last 3-6 months. If you have any concerns please contact your injector. Best of Luck!
