Frey's Syndrome Treatment
Frey's Syndrome, or gustatory sweating, is a rare, neurological disorder that causes a person to sweat excessively while eating. It most often occurs as a complication of surgery involving the parotid gland. It may also occur following neck dissection, facelifts, or trauma to the area around the gland. This patient had a benign tumor removed from behind her right ear in 1969. To her knowledge, she has been experiencing flushing, slight discomfort, and excessive sweating during meals since that time. Botulinum toxin injections have been shown to be an effective, conservative approach to managing these symptoms without more invasive surgical modalities being required. This proved to be a very helpful solution for the patient!

The answer is no...and there is also a more simple, less stressful approach to maintaining your dental health year-round. Upgrade your dental care routine with these five simple steps!
