Find Relief from TMJ & Teeth Grinding with Therapeutic Injectables
If you’ve ever experienced jaw pain, tension headaches, or noticed that you clench or grind your teeth—especially at night—you’re not alone. Many people live with the discomfort of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) without realizing there’s a safe, effective treatment option that goes beyond night guards and self-care tips.
At River Run Dental, we offer therapeutic injectable treatments that can ease TMJ symptoms and protect your teeth, all in a calm, spa-like setting designed with your comfort in mind.
How TMJ and Grinding Affect Your Health
Your temporomandibular joint is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to talk, chew, and yawn. When the muscles around this joint are overworked—often from clenching or grinding—they can become tense and inflamed. This can lead to:
- Jaw soreness or stiffness
- Headaches or migraines
- Earaches or facial pain
- Tooth wear and sensitivity
If left untreated, these symptoms can worsen over time, impacting both your oral health and overall quality of life.
How Therapeutic Injectables Work
Therapeutic injectables (using the same active ingredient often associated with cosmetic wrinkle treatments) can be placed precisely into the overactive jaw muscles. By relaxing these muscles:
- Jaw tension eases, reducing pain and discomfort
- Clenching and grinding decrease, helping prevent further tooth damage
- Headaches and facial pain often become less frequent
- You can open and close your mouth more comfortably
Our dentists are medically trained experts who understand the intricate network of muscles and nerves in your face, ensuring your treatment is as safe as it is effective.

We know that visiting the dentist for something like an injectable might feel new or unexpected, which is why we’ve created an environment that feels more like a day spa than a dental office. You’ll be treated in a soothing, private space by a provider who takes the time to understand your unique symptoms and goals.
Is It Right for You?
If you experience jaw pain, frequent headaches, or signs of tooth wear from grinding, therapeutic injectables may be a gentle, non-invasive solution worth exploring. Results typically last several months, and many patients notice significant relief within just a few days.
