"Life revolves around the Jaw Joints in every motor and sensory activity, awake or asleep, 24 hours a day.
The Jaw Joints are the only joints between the brain and the central nervous system.

"Our mission is manifold ----- but Prevention is our passion!"

---Milton and Renée Glass

Our Mission

JJAMD promotes education at all levels on the importance of healthy jaw joints and their relationship to total body health
Promotes the prevention of TMJ Disorders.
Fosters patient advocacy and encourages the formation of TMJ self-help groups nationally.
Sponsors and conducts independent research from the Patients' Perspective and advocates for basic scientific TMJ research.
Encourages the medical profession and medical research to help resolve the "TMJ Dilemma" and to "rejoin the jaw joints to all other joints in the body"
Believes that TMJ is largely preventable through an appropriate high quality program of awareness,

education, and research.

JJAMD promotes "Jaw Joints - TMJ Awareness©" throughout the year. In addition, we celebrate each month of November as "Jaw Joints - TMJ Awareness Month©" as introduced in 1997 by Congressman Barney Frank in the Congress of the United States.

The 1996 NIH Technology Assessment Conference [TAC] synthesizes The TMJ Dilemma and succinctly explains why JJAMD is unable to give specific medical/dental advice or referrals of any kind. The Conference report noted the absence of any universally accepted scientifically proven treatments and concluded that future advances in diagnosis and treatment requires collaboration of multidisciplinary fields involving basic and applied science and practice. The conference concluded "a Consensus must be developed regarding the professional expertise needed to diagnosis and treat these serious health problems." Here in 2002, there is still no significant improvement in this situation. But we are happy to report that there are some visible signs of positive changes happening, which is reported out on this website under: "Current News."

Until such time as TMJ becomes an acknowledged discipline, science, and recognized medical/dental specialty for the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ……..

JJAMD WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNABLE TO GIVE PATIENTS SPECIFIC MEDICAL/DENTAL ADVICE OR REFERRALS OF ANY KIND
