Thank you very much for your question andcongratulations on your recent Botox procedure. Give yourself at least 24 hoursafter a Botox session before having any dental work done. By the following day, you should tolerate the dentist fine, as there arelittle to no restrictions after Botox injections. I recommend reaching out toyour Botox provider about your upcoming dental work, as he/she may have theirown set of post-treatment instructions.
Botox is a local therapy. When it’s injected into the forehead, it settles into those muscles within minutes. It does not migrate or get into the bloodstream. You can have dental work the same day, if you wish. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert with Botox to get your treatments, as this not only gets you the best results but also helps you understand how Botox works.
Thank you for sharing your question. After a few hours it is OK to receive dental treatment of any kind following BOTOX injections. I hope this helps.Good luck,
I recommend waiting at least 24 hours before doing any dental work. Good luck with the dental work.
I recommend following up with your injector about their recommendations for having dental work after Botox. However, I recommend waiting at least 24 hours. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer
Work around your face and mouth should be postponed about 24 hours after a fresh Botox injection.Congratulations and good luck!
It's recommended to not lay down flat for at least 4 hours after your Botox treatment and at least 24 hours before engaging in exercise. Outside of that window, you should be able to have dental work. Hope this helps.
It should be fine to proceed with dental work. I usually advise my patients to not massage the areas that were injected or perform strenuous activity for 24 hours after Botox injections. Of course, if you had the perioral region or masseters injected, I would wait a day or two before having dental work done.
Hello, and thank you for your question. The effects of Botox are localized to the targeted areaand do not have any impact on other areas of your face. You are free to resume normalactivities and may proceed with dental work following a Botox treatment.If you are experiencing any adverse side effects from your Botox injections, then contact yourboard-certified injector to ensure that it is safe to undergo dental work. Generally speaking,having Botox injections should not prohibit you from going to the dentist. Hope this helps.
Yes, it should be fine to proceed with dental work. As a general precaution, I recommend my patients refrain from any extra activity or laying down for 4 hours following Botox injections and avoid strenuous activity 1-2 days. Generally, Botox fully bonds to the protein receptors within 24 hours, so if you waited that long before dental work you should have no risk at all. That being said, there is no substitute for a follow up with your doctor to discuss any questions you may have regarding your treatment.
You may notice tenderness to the touch over the next few days. But your results will not be altered based on the injury.
Thank you very much for your question and photograph. I’m sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the results from your recent Botox treatment. Unfortunately, if the botulinum toxin was injected too low on the Frontalis (forehead muscle), as the forehead relaxes, the eye brow may begin to d...
Thank you very much for your question and photographs. Botox is an excellent choice for treating dynamic wrinkles, or those caused by repetitive muscle movement and expressions. However, the injectable is not a good choice for tightening tissue along the jaw or under the chin. Kybella is...
Botox is ideal to diminish crows feet. I would suggest you give it a try with an experienced injector. Good luck!
The simple answer is that it doesn't sound like BOTOX would be causing any of these symptoms. I encourage you to call the person who actually performed your treatment and let them know your concerns. As much as we would love to help guide you, this is really the responsibility of the person wh...
