Botox® or Dysport® is a neuromodulating agent that prevents muscles from contracting and helps them to relax. At Rideau Dental on 4 th Street, Dr. Janet Kan has been trained in both upper face and bruxism treatment with the Pacific Training Institute for Facial Aesthetics. Whether you are interested in smoothing fine lines or wrinkles in your upper face or hoping to alleviate the symptoms from clenching or grinding we are here to discuss your concerns and help. Contact our office for a consultation appointment
During your consultation appointment Dr. Janet Kan and her team will discuss your aesthetic and/or TMJ concerns and what you would like to achieve with Botox ®/Dysport® treatment. We will also review your medical history to ensure that this type of treatment is appropriate for you. Our team will take a series of photos of your face and spend time reviewing the photos with you. Once you are ready to proceed with the treatment, we will mark the treatment sites on your face/jaw and take another series of photos. Once we are ready to proceed with treatment, Dr. Janet Kan will use a very fine needle to administer the Botox ®/Dysport® treatment into specific areas. The process is usually quick and relatively painless. Our team will then go over some post-op instructions with you and we will invite you back to office in two weeks for a follow-up appointment.
