I am having Botox on frown lines and crows feet and then a wisdom tooth extracted the next day.

Question

Will the Botox affect the dental work? Will the Botox last as long after the dental work

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  A Botox cosmetic treatment would not be a contraindication to wisdom teeth extraction nor will the dental procedure affect the longevity of your treatment.  Best of luck.

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Having a wisdom tooth extraction should not affect your Botox results. You should avoid massaging your face and lying down for 4 hours after the procedure. Also, no exercising for the first 24 hours after injection. You should avoid any dental work for 2 weeks if you receive dermal fillers. Best of Luck!

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

It is ok to go ahead with your Botox injection. While I recommend that my patients not have any dental work for 2 weeks before and after filler injection (because of risk of infection), this rule does not apply to Botox injection.

Melvin Elson, MD · Answer

There should be no issue having dental work after your Botox but just be sure to inform the dentist that you had it done

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

There should be no effect on the Botox results from the dental procedure. I tell patients to not have any physical activity for 4 hours as well as refrain from hats, massage, hot tubs or saunas. After fillers, dental procedures should be on hold for 2 weeks.
