If clenching your teeth gives you a throbbing headache, consider masseter and temporalis Botox, which is also done at dental university hospitals

Hello,

At the center of Seoul, at Exit 7 of City Hall Station,

this is Yeonsei Yesgum Dental Clinic, located right in front of the Samsung Main Building (across the street).

Today, we’re providing information about Botox for people who get headaches from clenching their teeth.

Many people do not know that Botox is also performed in dentistry. At dental university hospital oral medicine departments, Botox has already been used for more than ten years, and in fact for decades, for migraines, temporomandibular joint disorders, and more. If you are a dentist, dental hygienist, or work in dentistry, you probably saw it often starting from assistant training at university hospitals while you were a student.

Did you also know that many people with headaches or migraines visit dental university hospitals? Botox treatment is often done for these patients.

Some general dental clinics that you often see on the street also provide Botox, and Yeonsei Yesgum Dental Clinic is one of the clinics that performs Botox frequently. In particular, because we are located in central Seoul at City Hall Station, between Gwanghwamun and Namdaemun, foreign tourists also come to our clinic a lot for jaw Botox for cosmetic purposes, jaw Botox or temporalis Botox for TMJ disorder treatment, or bruxism Botox for teeth grinding, as well as jaw Botox or temporalis Botox for clenching and headache relief.

Clenching your teeth is not good for your teeth or your jaw joint, and it can even cause headaches. It may lead to jaw pain or migraines. This habit of clenching your teeth can also make the muscles in the side-of-the-head area, called the temple area, larger (the temporalis muscle), which can also affect your appearance.

Masseter and temporalis muscles

If you clench your teeth, or if you clench your teeth and get headaches, if the area around your temples throbs, or if you clench your teeth and strain so much that the muscles near your temples and the side of your head have become too large, consider Botox.

Then let us tell you the Botox prices, which many of you are probably curious about.

Here is the Botox fee information for 2025 at our Yeonsei Yesgum Dental Clinic near City Hall Station.

Masseter (square jaw) Botox: 100,000 KRW

Temporalis Botox: 200,000 KRW

If you want a bruxism appliance: Custom-made bruxism appliance: 550,000 KRW (production period: about 1 week to 10 days)

• For treatment purposes such as bruxism, TMJ disorder, teeth clenching, and migraines, a pre-treatment examination including a TMJ X-ray is required, and an additional examination fee applies (the examination is processed through the national health insurance system).

• For cosmetic purposes: a 10% value-added tax is added in accordance with relevant laws. (No examination fee)

(The muscles injected with Botox are the same, but you must choose whether the main purpose is treatment or cosmetic.)

At Yeonsei Yesgum Dental Clinic, for the best Botox effect, we do not pre-mix and store the Botox powder. Instead, we mix it after the patient agrees to Botox treatment. The prices above are based on commonly used domestic Botox, and the original Botox, Allergan Botox from the U.S., which is famous as a premium Botox brand, is twice the price above.

So far, this has been Botox for teeth clenching treatment, introduced by Yeonsei Yesgum Dental Clinic, which people even visit from overseas. It is also conveniently located for people coming from Gwanghwamun, Euljiro, Myeong-dong, Chungjeongno, Seodaemun Station, and Seoul Station!
