Will insurance cover Botox for teeth grinding and Tinnitus?

Question

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

Thank you for your question. You will need to call your insurance company to know if this procedure is covered. I would than contact a provider who does the injections for a consultation to determine the best treatment plan for you. I have seen very good results for Botox injections into the masseter muscle for teeth grinding. Best of Luck!

Thanks for posting your question. Some insurance will pay for this treatment. You will have best success finding an oral surgeon who participates with your plan. If you are unsure if you plan covers Botox give them a call. Best of luck, Dr. M

Hello, 
I would contact the insurance and see if it is covered then I would contact a provider who does the injections and seek a professional consultation. 
We see really good results for teeth grinding by injecting the masseter muscle with either botox or dysport. 
Best of luck.

If your condition is well-documented by your physician and recommendations have been made by the doctor, then you may be able to have this procedure paid for by your insurance carrier. You need to contact insurance carrier to find out. Good luck from New York City
