Detailed Answer:
Hii. Ent surgeons generally use botox injection for vocal cord disorders. In our practice we haven't seen too many ent surgeons using botox inj for a typical odontolagia. So dental surgeon will be the best to decide if you need botox injection or not. If he wants you to have botox inj then dental surgeon can get help from an ent surgeon while doing the procedure as botox injection can cause other complications like paralysis of vocal cords and others. So consult a dental surgeon and get a reference for ent surgeon while undergoing the procedure.
