Suggest Treatment For Dysarthria
I woke up the other day with slurred speech. I m having a hard time articulating words. It comes and goes. This is day three. I m 57 and in good health, Recently i started having a teeth whitening prodedure through my dentist. Maybe some of the chemicals have gotten in my jaw effecting my speech. I aslo had Botox done in between my eyebrows. Might one of these be the cause? Thank you, Dan mcHugh

Yes it could be the cause for your slurring. Wait for 7-10 days.... If still persists then you should go and consult speech and language therapist for speech therapy
