About This Provider

Dr. Paul Grin, DDS, MPH, MS, is the founder of the South Bay TMJ, Sleep, Headache and Orofacial Pain Institute in Torrance, California, where he has treated complex orofacial pain cases for more than 41 years. He holds board certification from the American Board of Orofacial Pain, serves as a Fellow of both the American Academy of Orofacial Pain and the American Headache Society, and holds a faculty appointment as a lecturer in the UCLA Department of Oral Medicine and Orofacial Pain. Dr. Grin's treatment philosophy rests on one firm commitment: every option he recommends must be conservative, non-surgical, non-invasive, and reversible. When a patient's case requires more than one discipline, he coordinates with pain psychologists, physical therapists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons. He accepts cases that other providers have not been able to resolve, including patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome whose TMJ complications require a clinician who understands hypermobility disorders at a clinical depth. His prolotherapy training gives patients a non-surgical path to joint repair when standard conservative care falls short. Every appointment is one-on-one with no double-booking, and first visits are allotted 60 to 90 minutes for a full diagnostic workup.
