Dental Botox at Port Stanley Dentistry by Peri Hayes Dr. Nehal Al Tarhuni, BSc, DDS and FAGD, is the founder and owner of Port Stanley Dentistry. “I have been a Dentist for 16 years,” she says, “And in Port since we built and opened our doors in November 2021.” “Botox,” Dr. Nehal notes, “Originally recognized for its role in improving facial aesthetics by reducing wrinkles and fine lines, is derived from botulinum toxin; a substance with a long-standing history of therapeutic medical use. Owing to its minimally invasive nature, Botox has gained growing acceptance in dentistry to manage the following conditions: excessive lip elevation; temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), such as locking and popping jaw; bruxism, the condition resulting from excessive clenching and grinding; denture instability caused by altered jaw muscle activity; and other dental-related concerns.”

It is one of the tools in our toolbox and we use it along with other procedures and interventions, such as night guards, splints, lasers and others, to bring about a holistic treatment approach. Cosmetically, we use Botox in dentistry to align the smile with the teeth. These procedures are called Dental Lip Flip Procedures and Gummy Smile Correction, and we use them along with lip filler to increase lip volumes, reshape the lips and restore any collagen loss due to aging, sun exposure and so forth.” “Honestly, I got trained to provide this service after benefitting from it personally,” Dr. Nehal reveals. “I tend to clench my teeth when I am focusing or thinking, and catch myself doing that even when I am working on patients. My clenching got so bad that I chipped one of my teeth, cracked one of my molars and my migraines got bad. With the therapeutic Botox injections, I got so much relief and I thought to myself, ‘This is something I see often with patients who come in with facial pain -- cracked and chipped teeth’. When I started referring my patients to others who can do the Botox injections, they had a hard time finding someone local who specialized in dental therapeutic Botox injection. It made sense for me to get the training to provide this care, and that is how my journey in this specific field got started a few years ago. I have been proudly able to help so many patients this way.”
