Since Dr. Paul Grin opened his office in Torrance, I have had the pleasure of referring numerous patients for his care and expertise. He is extremely knowledgeable and qualified in his field and treats my patients accordingly and with great success. Patients return to my office having achieved great results. Additionally, my patients praise Dr. Grin for the kind and gentle manner he has when rendering consultation and treatment. Dr. Paul Grin has my highest recommendation and my total respect as a colleague. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for my patients and for myself.

Dr Grin is one of the most kind and highly knowledgable instructors who teaches at the Orofacial pain & dental sleep medicine at UCLA! As a general dentist and current resident working under his direct guidance at UCLA’s graduate orofacial pain program, where he teaches and serves as the program's clinic director, I can accurately attest to Dr Grin being truly one-of-a-kind in all aspects of his character; possessing the combination of being both a genuinely caring, kind-hearted person, alongside having such a vast degree of knowledge in his field, makes him truly unparalleled to say the least.
I have had the great privilege of working under Dr Grin's direction for the past year, and I still look forward to each and every meeting. I am always learning something new, and have acquired such a great deal from him already. It is truly such an honor to be working with Dr Grin. He always goes above and beyond for his students, as well as for his patients, and I would refer my closest friends and family to Dr Grin without hesitation.

Dear Dr. Paul Grin, DDS, MPH and his GREAT Staff,
I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Grin and his great staff on a Google search about two months ago. I came to Dr. Grin with a severe case of sleep apnea. He is so compassionate, dedicated, and a complete 5 star doctor. His abilities are second to none. He and his great staff - Blanca and Raquel welcomed me with open arms and treated me with so much respect and care that it literally brought tears to my eyes. Dr. Grin spent a great deal educating me about my sleep apnea condition and found a customizable way for me to take charge of my sleep apnea with him on my side at all times. He has and continues to answer all my questions and is guiding me at the moment of beating sleep apnea. I am the LUCKY one.
He spends a great deal of time with all his clients and treats all his clients with so much care that I cannot describe with words. He is the best. His staff is also very awesome and caring. Every time I go to meet Dr. Grin and staff for an appointment, I feel so happy because I know at all times I will be in great hands.
I am glad that I found Dr. Grin because at this time of my life of being overweight, I need the best of the best doctor on my side. He is simply that.
best wishes and warm regards,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Raja Gulrajani.

I was able to observe many cases in UCLA clinic of Orofacial Pain & Sleep Dental Medicine. Dr. Grin was always kind and cheerful. He taught me politely. He also answered my questions clearly and sometimes gave us mini-lecturer. I was lucky to see Dr. Grin. I greatly appreciate his kindness.

“I am grateful to Dr.Grin for educating not only myself, but all of us here at HealthTap about pain management, AND, moreover, I am grateful to him for his openness to the effects of psychotherapy. I have encountered many pain practitioners who devalue therapy as being unneeded, and that medication solves everything. No so for Dr. Grin, and I am relieved he is more forward thinking & collaborative!”

After I was unable to find any relief for burning tongue syndrome, I was ultimately referred to Dr. Paul Grin through UCLA. Dr. Grin's treatment regimen immediately relieved the burning, and he has been carefully monitoring me for over 1 year. I am happy to travel from Woodland Hills to see him. While his treatment has been very effective, his calm demeanor and willingness to sit with me to discuss the issues surrounding my syndrome, have also been truly helpful. I feel he cares about me as a patient and as a person, and has made excellent recommendations for self-help therapy, as well. He has a wonderful staff who are very friendly, polite and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Grin.

I was experiencing chronic facial/mouth pain that made it very hard to do my normal daily activities without experiencing continual discomfort. I had been to two doctors who could not diagnose the problem. One of the doctors recommended I see Dr Grin before proceeding with additional treatment. Dr Grin is a very thorough, caring, and competent doctor. After a extensive written and verbal interview he prescribed treatment based on his diagnosis. The treatment eliminated 95% to 100% of the discomfort. I would highly recommend that one see Dr Grin
for pain relief. He has improved my quality of life in a very short amount of time. Hooray Dr Grin !

When I first met Dr. Grin I was pleasantly surprised by how caring and truly concerned he seemed about my grinding pain.
He is a great listener and I was not rushed in and out like so many Doctors do. I think he is one of the best in his field.

Dr. Grin is a very kind and good man. During my observe time, he told me a lot of knowledges about pain relief and TMD treatment. He can use the simple ways to show his opinion for me. I think you can learn many useful things from Dr. Grin.
Thanks a lot.

Dr.Grin has helped me with my TMJ tremendously since I began treating with him. The medications, exercises, appliances, and care that Dr.Grin has administered have greatly improved my quality of life, relieved pain, and increased comfort in my jaw. Also, the staff at Dr.Grin's office is very kind! A visit to Dr.Grin's office always brightens my day!

I have known Dr. Paul Grin since he first opened his practice in 1985; in fact, I think I am his patient No.3. Therefore, I feel that I am well qualified to comment on his professional abilities. His demeanor and bedside manner is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, personal and always one patient at the time.
Dr. Grin is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated. His staff is courteous, professional, gentle and affable. I also like Dr. Grin’s philosophy of medicine is to treat the whole person, not just the “symptom du jour”.
Long story short, I have high quality of life; pain free and I sleep well.
If you are looking for TMJ or Sleep Apnea specialist, you could not do better.

I believe that Dr. Grin takes a personal interest in his patients and takes the necessary time to understand their issues. He continuously puts patient care as his top priority, even sacrificing his spare time to do so. He is a true medical professional.

What a great guy, excellent physician, wonderful colleague and all around genius in the area of pain as well in a surprising range of other areas. I learn from him every day and have recommended that my own daughter read his information to help sort out her TMJ. He does not hesitate to tackle any question and returns clear explanations of the most complex issues seasoned with true compassion. Eureka, CA

From the moment I contacted the office I was treated with respect. The staff is professional, friendly, helpful and courteous.
Dr. Grin is the best! He is professional, he takes his time to explain, he is extremely knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. He is alway very present and answers my questions. He explains everything in a way that I can understand, even when I ask the same question more than once.
He has a state-of-the-art x-ray machine that produces amazing images! He used these images when he explained to me how my jaw is supposed to work. It was fascinating and educational.
On the first visit, after some questions and an exam, he knew what my problem was and my road to healing began. I am still on the road, but I no longer have pain. And I am not stressed out wondering what is wrong with me!

In late 2014, I was referred to Dr. Grin by my dentist, Ronald Greene, to get help for my painful mandibular joint problem. Dr. Grin was very thorough. He told me that it was not a TMJ problem, but a muscular problem. He suggested that I get two night guards, one to use during sleep and one to wear during the day, when needed. He showed me facial exercises to help me relax my jaw. I have worn my night guard every night since then, and used the one for daily wear ossasionally. I finally have gotten relief from my facial pain.
Dr. Grin is professional, courteous and has great empathy. I would definitely recommend Dr. Grin.

When I met Dr. Grinn, my jaw was so painful that I couldn't open my mouth wide enough to eat a banana unless it was sliced. Another symptom was grinding my teeth while asleep and Dr. Grinn provided comfortable appliances to prevent this. Five months later, I am very happy to write that I am pain free and can open my mouth as wide as I please.

Dr. Paul has been a centerpiece for my practice. As a geriatric care manager, it is important I deliver expert care for my senior clients. If it is pain relief and quality of life our clients are in need of, South Bay TMJ is a real triumph.

Being a dental student and a patient of Dr. Grin's has given me the opportunity to see both sides of the fence. In terms of medical theory and teaching abilities, he is unparalleled. I am always in awe of his wealth of knowledge and how freely he chooses to give it away, the way medicine was meant to be. His meticulous examinations and chair side manner are that of a different era. You will feel so comfortable and wonder if you are really being treated, or just enjoying an afternoon conversation. Dr. Grin made a night guard to help manage my night time grinding and clinching while also providing me with certain stretches for my masticatory muscles. I have been pain free while under the care of Dr. Grin. I am so happy that I found someone like him. Thank you Dr. Grin!!

After suffering from migraines for years to such an extent that I could not tolerate even dim lighting and after seeing a number of specialists who regularly charged me and my insurance company for multiple visits and procedures but never satisfied my health needs, I finally found a doctor who was very different from all those I had seen before.
First of all, what I like about Dr. P. Grin is the fact that he is thinking doctor. He is a meticulous specialist with vast knowledge in various medical fields and has long and invaluable experience in dealing with different conditions. Dr. Paul Grin is not guided by a standard treatment scheme but makes sure that each patient gets an individual approach in accordance with individual symptoms. Just after the first two weeks, I felt significant improvement of my condition. My problem has not disappeared, but on a scale of 10, it moved down from 10 to 3, and I can function now as a regular person.
Also, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep thankfulness to Dr. Grin for saving my sister’s life who complained about headaches and visited several specialists before I referred her to Dr. Grin. During the first appointment, he suspected that she had a brain tumor. The following tests and MRI confirmed his diagnosis. My sister’s surgery is a successful story only because of Dr. Grin’s timely intervention.

I have experienced a dramatic decrease in pain thanks to Dr. Grin's knowledge and expertise. I suffer from Burning Mouth Syndrome and the pain was constant. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that I am not alone in my suffering, and that Dr. Grin has successfully treated other women with this syndrome. Due to the Dr.'s excellent care, I can happily report a significant decrease in discomfort, and have hope for continuing improvement. In addition, the doctor and his staff are professional, courteous, and friendly (qualities which are very important to me). I would gladly recommend Dr. Grin to anyone experiencing this type of discomfort. I thank Dr. Grin and his wonderful staff for their concern and care.

My wife has been suffering from a condition called "burning tongue". We have been to numerous doctors looking for a cure. Most doctors never even heard of it.
Our dentist mentioned Dr Grin that he may know how to treat this problem. My wife has been seeing Dr Grin for a couple of months now. Although he made it clear that burning tongue is controllable but curable.
Although Dr Grin is technically a Docter of Dental Surgery, his medical knowledge is equal to or surpass some medical doctors. He treats your office visit as though you are his only patient. He calmly ask you questions and documents your answers in your file. He has a low key, calming approach in treating patients.
Does anybody experience burning tongue or know of a cure?

Hello! My name is Sherri Vance and I want to let the world know how much Dr. Paul Grin and his staff helped me through a very difficult period in my life. My jaw began locking up and I was left with a greatly diminished range of motion. It left me unable to open my mouth sufficiently for speaking and eating. I couldn't even yawn properly.
I had been ill advised by my dentist to be fitted for and sleep with a $350 mouth guard without diagnosing the cause of my problem. She said that she uses them for screening. Insurance does not cover that. When I showed it to Dr. Grin, he said it was like going to the emergency room with a broken leg and being given a cane.
Dr. Grin has a Cone Beam CT Scan which is the Cadillac of CT Scans. It is used as a diagnostic tool to rule out oral pathologies. The radiologist report of my scan to Dr. Grin lead him to treat my condition with an injection: Arthrocentis. My medical insurance company had authorized numerous visits to Dr. Grinn, but after one injection, I was fine and I still am. He did tell me that freezing up might return and that I might need further injections, but I have not and it has been over a year now with no recurrance. I am more than satisfied with the care I got from Dr. Paul Grin, DDS, MPH, APC at the South Bay Headache, TMJ & Orofacial Pain Institute at 4305 Torrance Blvd., Ste. 505 in Torrance, CA 90503, 310.933.3077

I made my appointment with Dr. Grin to discuss my sleep apnea and snoring concerns. After his extensive examination, he determined that the best solution for me would be an appliance that gently moves the lower jaw forward. After several weeks now, I am sleeping better and my snoring has almost complete stopped. Dr. Grin is a real gentleman that takes the time to fully explain each step the needs to be taken to resolve your issues. When I visit his office, I feel like I am visiting a friend. I would highly recommend that anyone with facial pain, snoring issues or sleep apnea, take the time for a visit to Dr. Grin. You will not regret it. AND he takes most insurance.
