More Botox to treat clenching TMJ? 7 days post.

March 7, 2018
Asked By:zigzu in Cairns, AU

I discussed getting botox into my jaw for the tension and pain. Clinic nurse told me she had been doing them for years with great results. I am 7 days since botox and I am still in pain and lots of tension. I saw my dental surgeon today who said that she probably got the wrong muscles and I should only see a dentist (which costs a lot more). Is it a complicated procedure or should I just go back for more botox...perhaps I didn’t get enough? I got 15 in each side.
