If you are interested in BOTOX or dental fillers, then you may be a bit worried about who you should see for this service. There may be many practices in the area that offer it, but it might be in your best interest to visit a dentist for it! It might seem odd, but they have unique training that other professions may not have had. Keep reading to learn three reasons why you should visit them for this service.
1.) Dentists Are Trained in Facial Anatomy
When you think about getting injectables, you may imagine that going to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is the best. However, dentists are in a niche part of healthcare that other providers can’t effectively fill in. These professionals have advanced training in the oral and maxillofacial areas, meaning from your chin to your forehead.
With their advanced training, they know how the muscles in your face move. They’ll be able to pinpoint where injecting BOTOX will be most beneficial while looking as natural as possible. That way, you get results you love.
2.) Dentists Have an Understanding of Facial Aesthetics
Going off the point above, dentistry has started to take aesthetics into account. Modern dental treatments are switching to metal-free alternatives so that restoring teeth looks just like natural. Not only that, but they have to be color-matched and double-checked to ensure they blend in seamlessly with a smile.
Around your grin is no different. With their keen eye, they’ll take your whole face into account and help you achieve the results that you want from injectables.
3.) BOTOX Can Treat More Than Wrinkles
BOTOX is often used to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines, but it can even treat oral health issues that affect your temporomandibular joints (TMJs), or your jaw joints. This treatment works by paralyzing muscles, which is how it improves the natural signs of aging. It’s completely safe, but getting them to treat your TMJ disorder can help you feel comfortable while you get a long-term solution for your jaw discomfort.
Although you might’ve been confused about who to go for your BOTOX injections, remember the three reasons above to consider a dentist! They have special training that other professions may not be able to match. By scheduling a consultation, you can learn more about why it’s a good choice for you. That way, you feel confident in your decision about your smile.
