Should I do masseter Botox before or after wisdom tooth extraction?

March 14, 2020
Asked By:adb001 in Toronto, ON

I am interested in doing masseter Botox injections to help with teeth grinding and to slim down that area of my face. However, I will be getting my lower impacted wisdom teeth removed and am wondering if I should do the Botox procedure before or after the extraction, and how long I should wait in between? TIA!
