I don't understand: why would botox prevent wisdom teeth from growing? I fail to see the connection.

  It could kill the tooth bud before it develops into a tooth.

    What is a "tooth bud"? Botox works by blocking neuromuscular signals. As far as I'm aware, wisdom teeth coming in is a bone-tooth interaction. Botox would do nothing.

      Every tooth you're ever going to have develops during gestation. A tooth bud is a tooth at a particular early development stage. It's not much more than a differentiation of cell types in the area where there will later be a tooth. Maybe botox would do nothing. Maybe it would disrupt further development of the tooth.
