Dr. Daniel Klauer, TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Northern Indiana (LaserLife Insights, Episode 4)

On this episode of LaserLife Insights, host Pete Cousins interviews Dr. Dan Klauer, a specialist in treating craniofacial pain, TMD, sleep apnea, and snoring. They discuss Dr. Klauer’s career journey, the role of technology in his practice, and the impact of low-level laser therapy in treating chronic pain conditions. Dr. Klauer emphasizes the importance of understanding the patient’s needs, being passionate about patient care, and the continued promise of laser therapy as an effective treatment. He also discusses the significance of advanced education for providers and highlights the role of organizations like the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain in providing further training and creating a community of learning among providers.

Dr. Daniel Klauer

Dr. Klauer, AKA Daniel, AKA DK, has even more credentials than he does nicknames (Doctor of Dental Surgery, Diplomat of American Board of the Craniofacial Pain, Diplomat of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, and Diplomat of the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine). After attending Notre Dame and playing on the Varsity Golf Team (FORE!), he headed to dental school at The Ohio State University and met his wife Hayley in The Ohio City of Columbus. In 2010, they settled in South Bend for work (TMJ for him, IUSB for her) and family (five kids).

If Dr. Klauer was to wow his colleagues during an office talent show, it would be with athleticism (Hayley’s words). He proves it by skiing (water and snow), running, biking, swimming, and dreaming of traveling at warp speed (preferably to front-row seats at a Billy Joel concert).

Credentials:

American Board of Craniofacial Pain Certified
American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine Certified
American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine Certified
American Academy of Orofacial Pain Member
American Academy of Craniofacial Pain Member
American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine Member

TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Northern Indiana

At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Northern Indiana, they provide non-surgical therapies for adults and children. With proper evaluation and diagnosis, the conditions of craniofacial pain, sleep apnea, and snoring can be successfully treated. The TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre is dedicated exclusively to the evaluation and treatment of these conditions. Their approach is comprehensive evaluation for proper diagnosis and non-invasive treatment therapies. They provide successful results using state-of-the art technology and research-based treatment in a caring and friendly environment. We recognize and treat each patient as a unique individual.

Dr. Daniel G. Klauer, TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre Clinical Director, chose to complete his four years of training at The Ohio State University, earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). In 2013, Dr. Klauer chose to limit his practice to treating patients with craniofacial pain, temporomandibular disorder (TMD), and sleep disorders due to the overwhelming need within the community. As he learned to identify the origin of patients’ pain and sleep problems, it became increasingly clear that he could drastically impact their lives now and in the future. To that end, Dr. Klauer has completed nearly 2 years of post-graduate training and over 1,500 hours of continuing education in craniofacial Pain, TMD, and sleep medicine. He is board-certified with the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, the American Board of Craniofacial Pain, and the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine. He is Diplomate Eligible with the American Board of Orofacial Pain, and he is the only doctor in a 100-mile radius that carries these three board credentials.
