Is is safe to get a deep dental cleaning 48 hours after Botox?

There should be no problem getting a dental cleaning 48 hours after a botox treatment. It is important to avoid strenuous exercise or massage to this area for the first few hours after treatment, but certainly by the next day there are no restrictions.

Hello, there are no contraindications with Botox and deep dental cleaning. It is best to wait 24 hours but you could have them both done on the same day.Best Regards,

There should be no issue with having some dental services after Botox injections.  I may have concern about a deep dental cleaning after Dermal Filler injections however.  If a deep cleaning causes some release of bacteria during the cleaning there may be concern about affecting the fillers.

Assuming that the Botox is injected in the forehead and not in the areas associated with TMJ treatment, it would be safe to get the dental cleaning any time after Botox, even if an  anesthetic is used. 

Yes, this should be fine. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

 Botox is the safest drug I have ever used as a physician. The only limitation I tell my patients is that they cannot exercise  the day I inject the Botox.

There should be no reason why you can’t get a deep dental cleaning 48 hours after Botox. Even if you get Botox injections on the lower half of your face it should still be okay. 

Hi there, Typically I do recommend 24 hrs of no exercise after botox injection to prevent the botox from traveling to unintended areas. Afterwards, you can resume activities at your regular pace.In regards to dental cleaning and mouth opening, you should be okay after 48 hrs particularly if you are having forehead and eye injections. I do recommend checking with your injector.Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello thank you for your question. There is no contraindication of having Botox and then a dental procedure a few days later. You could potentially have it done the same day, but waiting one day is a good idea. Hope this helps, Dr. S. 

No problem. The only way a dental cleaning would interfere is if you had botox around the mouth on the same day. You’ll be fine.
