- The use of Botox
Let’s come to our main focus. I am going to give some information of a specific treatment called Botox. I would also discuss the side effects of Botox so that you would be cautious before taking it. Let’s start with the drug. Botox is the botulinm toxin type A which is made from the bacteria and it causes the botulism. Nowadays many dental specialists provide the Botox to treat the oral and the maxillofacial problems. The drug is a neurotoxin and therefore stops the nerve impulse where it is injected causing the botulism. It is also known as BoNT-A. The drug is massively used in the cosmetic and the orthodontic therapy.
- The mode of action
Now you have some information about the drug. However, you should know the mode of action of Botox. It works as the inhibitor of the action of release of acetylcholine at the junctions of neurons and muscles. Therefore it can be said that Botox stops the neurotransmission and inhibits the sensation. What is acetylcholine? It helps the action of muscle contraction by the depolarizing the motor end plate of the muscle. Botox, as a neurotoxin, effectively reduce the muscle contraction and the patient would not feel any sensation where the drug has been injected. Therefore before taking the drug, you should be aware of the action of this neurotoxin and the dentist also should use the medicine appropriately. It has been many times seen that using the overdose of Botox caused the paralysis of the patient and the loss of sensation lasted for many days. Therefore the doctor should use the proper concentration of it during the orthodontic treatment.
- You have to be cautious
You should remember some points before starting the medication with Botox. Otherwise you might be in problem. Let’s take a look on the preparatory precautions:
- Do not go for the Botox treatment if you are allergic to any of the ingredients of the compound. Therefore your doctor should have to do an allergy test to know it properly.
- Do not take the injection of this compound if there is any infection in injection site.
- You should know that the use of Botox will cause the inhibition the muscle contraction and therefore there would be some problem in the urinary tract and many times it has been seen that the improper dose of Botox caused the loss of bladder control of the urinary tract.
