In many cases, dental insurance does not cover BOTOX® treatment for TMJ because it is an off-label use and considered elective. However, some plans may cover a portion if they consider treatment medically necessary. A member of our dental team can evaluate your policy to be sure.
We accept most PPO plans and work with CareCredit financing. With CareCredit, you can finance costly or ongoing treatments over time, and many of the programs are interest-free. We can help you apply for CareCredit, and decisions are usually prompt.
TMJ: What It Is and How BOTOX Can Help
We use the initials TMJ (temporomandibular joints) to refer to disorders of the joints that connect the lower jaw to the skull. When the TMJs don’t work correctly, you may notice:
- Clicking sounds in the joints when eating or yawning
- Diffuse pain in the jaw, head, neck, and shoulders
- Tooth wear and fractures, if they are related to bruxism (teeth grinding)
Your dentist in Brandon, FL, offers treatment options to help relax or repair these joints, including BOTOX. Doctors and dentists have used BOTOX medicinally for decades, and your dentist can determine whether it’s a suitable treatment option for you.
