Question

Michelle Jones Singer, MD · Answer

It is safe to have dental anesthesia after Botox injection. The anesthesia that you are administered will not alter the effects of the Botox.

Thank you for sharing your question. There is no reason you cannot have anesthesia or dental treatments after Botox injections.Good luck,

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, this should be fine. Keep in mind, it can take up to 2 weeks for final results with Botox. Hope this helps.

There should be no problem having an anesthetic used for dental fillings 2 days after having had a Botox treatment to the forehead.  There should be no interaction between the Botox and the anesthetic.

Yes, it is okay to go ahead with your dental treatment. The dental anesthetic should have no affect on your Botox results. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. There are no issues with receiving anesthesia for a dental procedure following Botox injection. Botox is injected in a localized area without distribution to the rest of your body. Best of luck to you.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

There should be no issue in having an anesthetic for dental work two days after your Botox treatment.  The product is injected directly into the muscle where its effect is desired.  If it was injected into your forehead it should not impact any dental work you're having done.

The anesthetic for your dental work should have no affect on your Botox treatment nor should the Botox affect the anesthetic agents.

Steven Swengel, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. There will be no reason for you not to get anesthetic for your dental procedure two days after having a Botox treatment. Botox is injected into the muscles of the upper head in a localized manner, it does not migrate or flow anywhere else or into the blood stream. You can always give your dentist a heads-up when you are getting your procedure done. Hope this helps, Dr. S.
