Facial Pain & Tension

Chronic facial pain – tightness across the cheeks, soreness at the jaw angles, tension around the eyes and temples – is often rooted in the jaw muscles and joint. At Westside Dental, we treat facial pain as a jaw health problem first, using the most advanced non-invasive treatments available in Alberta to address the muscle and tissue causes at their source.

How we treat it: EMVITAL laser therapy reduces deep tissue inflammation and improves circulation throughout the jaw and facial muscles – most patients notice meaningful relief within their first 2-3 sessions. EMFACE rehabilitates the jaw’s elevator muscles directly using Health Canada-approved muscle stimulation. For patients whose facial tension is driven by a hyperactive masseter, therapeutic Botox provides targeted, lasting relief. All treatments are non-invasive, drug-free, and require no downtime.
