Do you grind your teeth or have TMJ? Please join, it's free.

Welcome to our FREE Los Angeles area support and information group for those who grind their teeth or have TMJ. The group is run by a dentist and a stress management specialist who specialize in these issues.

Please join (always free) to learn more about causes, symptoms, and treatments for TMJ and teeth grinding. You will have access to our files section with a comprehensive article and a 17-minute guided imagery download (MP3) that you can use to learn your first relaxation technique.

As soon as a few people join this group we'll schedule our first information Meetup with a free relaxation exercise in the local area. You'll want to come to this.

You can download the full version of our teeth grinding/TMJ article from the files section. It has information about causes, symptoms, and possible solutions.

“Bruxism” is teeth grinding or teeth clenching, often experienced at night but sometimes during the day. Grinding your teeth is known as “bruxing”. Other related issues are jaw clenching or clamping, and snoring, so teeth grinding may be related to sleep apnea, and also Temporomandibular Joint disorder (TMJ).
