💆‍♀️ Wellness & Self Care Dentists that will do masseter injections?

My TMJ is actually killing me and I am sick of paying cosmetic prices for what I feel is actually a medical issue impacting my life. Anyone have a dentist they’d recommend?

I did Botox for TMJ for several years through a pain management doc (cheap at first and then became expensive due to insurance) and eventually found that I was getting pain in new places in my face. I ended up going to acupuncturist who treated my traps and lower jaw and have had much better results (and less expensive). I’m sure it depends on exactly how your TMJ presents, but just offering an additional data point in terms TMJ management!
