Tempro-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome (TMJ) is a common condition affecting a wide variety of people. TMJ is characterized by severe headaches, jaw pain of varying degrees, grinding teeth, and an intermittent ringing in the ears. The vast majority of TMJ sufferers are unaware that the root cause of these problems is something that a dentist can effectively treat.

Grinding your teeth in your sleep can erode the structure of your teeth and lead to severe dental problems, including TMJ (Tempro-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome).. Untreated, TMJ is one of the major factors that contribute to eroded jawbones and loose teeth.
