Buccal and Intraoral Therapy

Buccal and Intraoral Therapy is a specialized facial treatment that works with the muscles both outside the face and gently inside the mouth. It focuses on areas that are often difficult to reach through external massage alone, including the cheeks, jaw and deeper muscles involved in chewing and facial expression.

The treatment may help relieve jaw tension, teeth grinding, clenching, TMJ related discomfort and tightness caused by stress. By relaxing overworked facial muscles and supporting circulation and lymphatic movement, it may also reduce puffiness and create a softer, more relaxed and naturally sculpted appearance.

Treatment begins with external massage of the face, jaw, neck and surrounding areas. With your permission, the practitioner then wears fresh single use gloves to gently work inside the cheeks and along the inner jaw muscles. Pressure is always adjusted to your comfort, and the intraoral portion can be paused or declined at any time.

Each session includes a health and oral safety assessment. Treatment may need to be postponed if you have active cold sores, mouth ulcers, dental infections, recent dental work, oral surgery or recent facial cosmetic procedures.

Buccal and Intraoral Therapy may be offered on its own or combined with facial acupuncture, Gua Sha and other facial rejuvenation treatments when appropriate.
