If you have one or more of these symptoms, you may be experiencing a temporomandibular joint disorder, commonly called "TMJ". Research has shown that 5 to 15% of the population have a TMJ disorder requiring some type of professional treatment. Our intention is to help provide you with accurate and reliable information about your problem so that you can:
- better determine if you have a TMJ disorder
- decide if you need to seek professional help
- determine if you have a different type of problem (not "TMJ")
- stop worrying and lower your stress level
- make good decisions about your health care
- You can accomplish all this right now, by taking a simple and inexpensive screening test that has already helped hundreds of thousands of people in a situation similar to yours. This test is called the TMJ ScaleT and has been used across the U.S. and Canada in dental offices since 1986. This web site and service is being made available to you by Pain Resource Center, Inc., the original TMJ Scale developer and publisher.
