Is it safe to get a root canal 8 hours after a botox treatment?
Doctor Answers 11
Thank you for your question. It is most likely safe to have a root canal after receiving Botox injections, however I would still advise you to wait at least a day to help avoid any complications. If you still have any concerns please contact your treating physician. Best of Luck!

There should be no issue having this done on the same day. I usually tell my patients not to lie down for 4 hours after their treatment so as long as you wait longer than this, there should be no issue.

Hello.
If you were my patient, I would not have a problem with the root canal 8 hours after Botox. The Botox should be fully absorbed by then.
Good luck, Dr. Aldo

As both a medical doctor and dentist, it is completely safe. The Botox in injected in the muscle, and the root canal treatment only involves drilling into the tooth, cleaning out the root canal, and filling it. Even though the treatments are in near vicinity of each other, it is completely safe in my opinion.

Since botulinum toxin is absorbed into the muscles within 2-4 hours it should be safe to have your injection on the same day. I'd of course follow your plastic surgeon's recommendation and advice.

It is most likely safe to have both of these procedures on the same day. I recommend following up with your Doctor and Dentist and following their recommendations. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello euneun,
Thanks for your question. I am very conservative when it comes to elective procedures and safety in the face of "other treatments". It is fairly safe to assume your root canal is not elective but more a necessity for quality of life hence I would delay your Botox treatment until at least a day after the root canal. I am a big believer in letting "the dust settle" on one issue before adding additional variables. Best wishes on your treatments.

Although it is probably ok, I would recommend waiting at leas a day to have the Botox done. Have the root canal first and after all is well then the Botox to avoid any possible issue from pressure

You will be fine either way most likely. However, the endodontist is spreading a lot of bacteria on your face. Because the botox service is entirely elective and the root canal is not so elective, I would recommend rescheduling the Botox service.

I would NOT recommend having a dental procedure within a few hours of having facial Botox/Xeomin/Dysport injections. The position changes and facial pressure involved in a dental procedure risks displacing the Botox away from the areas it was injected with resultant temporary paralysis of muscles that weren't intended to be treated. Migration of Botox after forehead injections could result in drooping of the eyebrows or eyelids. I'd recommend waiting a couple of days after Botox injection before proceeding with a dental procedure (or get the Botox anytime after the dental procedure has been done).
