Bottom line: Botox doesn’t fix every type of jaw pain, but when muscle overactivity is the culprit, it can offer real and meaningful relief.

Botox works by gently relaxing the muscles responsible for tension and pain.

For the right diagnosis, this can mean:
✔ Reduced muscle tightness
✔ Fewer headaches
✔ Less clenching and grinding
✔ Improved comfort with talking, chewing, and daily activities

Once administered, the effects typically last 3–4 months, making it a helpful option within a broader treatment plan that may also include oral appliances, physical therapy, or habit coaching.

Suffering from jaw pain? The condition you have might not be what you call it. Understanding the terms TMJ vs TMD can help you find the right information.

Here's the distinction:

• TMJ: Refers to the Temporomandibular Joint, which is the medical term for the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull. It helps you chew, swallow, speak, and even breathe!

• TMD: Refers to Temporomandibular Disorders, or any condition that affects your TMJ or the muscles that make it move.

If you're experiencing:
• Sounds in your jaw joints
• Pain when you talk, chew, or yawn
• Muscle fatigue
• Frequent headaches or ear aches

You may be suffering from TMD.

If you’ve been dealing with jaw pain, headaches, facial pain, or unexplained discomfort, you know that this advice hasn’t always been easy to follow.
Many of our patients come to us after bouncing from provider to provider in search of answers — often treating symptoms without ever finding the underlying cause.

At Midwest Jaw Relief, our goal is to understand the whole picture, not just the pieces, because taking care of your body shouldn’t feel like guesswork.

Struggling with face or jaw pain that no one can seem to explain? You’re definitely not alone.

Orofacial pain is complex, and it can even have multiple contributing causes.

Here are a few possibilities:
• Nerve irritation: When nerves are damaged or overstimulated, they can send intense pain signals.
• TMD: Jaw joint or muscle issues that create tension, clicking, or restricted motion.
• Infections: Tooth, gum, or bone infections that spread discomfort through the face.
• Trauma: Old injuries that leave lingering muscle or joint sensitivity.
• Parafunctional habits: Inefficient oral habits or muscle patterns that strain the face.

Our team looks at the full picture: muscles, nerves, habits, and history, to understand exactly what’s driving your pain.

Every cause has a solution. Let’s uncover yours, together.

Whether you’ve been here for a while or just found our account, we wanted to take a second to (re)introduce Dr. Scott Guthrie.

1️⃣ I'm Dr. Guthrie, and I help my patients understand and treat TMJ disorders, face pain, chronic headaches, and sleep apnea.
2️⃣ I am a board-certified orofacial pain specialist and completed my residency at the University of Kentucky.
3️⃣ I started this business because I wanted to help people live a fulfilling life with relief from the above conditions.
4️⃣ I know I've had a successful appointment if my patients feel seen and heard. Half of the battle is understanding how we got here.
5️⃣ When I’m not working, you’ll find me studying Japanese or with my family, snowboarding, or doing a puzzle.
6️⃣ My go-to coffee order (because why not?) is a Caramel Latte.

Now it’s your turn! Share one fun fact about yourself in the comments so we can get to know you, too.

Facial pain got you down?
Try these simple tips for relief, all from the comfort of your home:

• Breathe: Focus on slow, intentional breathing to reduce stress in your body.
• Loosen your face: Let your jaw hang, teeth apart, but lips lightly touching. This helps unclench your jaw and face muscles.
• Practice good posture: Remember to sit up straight with your shoulders back. Poor posture can strain your back and neck muscles, which can also impact your jaw.
• Use heat: Place a warm washcloth, heating pad, or microwave pack against your jaw or on your neck for some relief.
• Massage: Using a facial massage tool such as a Gua Sha daily to relieve built-up tension in your jaw muscles

Which one of these have you tried? Let us know in the comments.

It's National Trivia Day, and we have a fun fact for you.

Did you know that orofacial pain didn’t become an official ADA-recognized dental specialty until 2020?

For years, patients with jaw pain, headaches, facial pain, or unexplained discomfort often bounced from provider to provider without clear answers. Specialists were already helping, but it was difficult for patients to find clinicians with certified training.

Now that orofacial pain is a recognized specialty, patients can see providers who have advanced training in diagnosing and treating complex pain conditions involving the jaw, face, head, and neck.

This means better care, better guidance, and a better chance of finding the root cause of chronic pain — not just masking symptoms.

We’re excited to be among the first orofacial pain specialists in the Midwest, but we’re even more excited to help you find relief.

Happy New Year!

As we step into 2026, our team has chosen a word of intention to guide our focus and energy throughout the year: resilience. It’s a core Guthrie family value, one that reflects our commitment to adapting, growing, and meeting challenges head-on as our practice continues to scale. Most importantly, it holds special meaning because we see resilience every day in our patients who navigate chronic pain with strength and perseverance. Their determination continually inspires us.

At Midwest Jaw Relief, we’re passionate about helping our patients feel truly seen and supported. If you’ve been struggling with facial pain, we invite you to embrace this intention with us. Let’s bring resilience into the new year and make 2026 the year you find relief and a clear path forward.
