<\/p>\n\n\n

Sleep Apnea Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At least 22 million Americans live with a condition that\ncauses several pauses in breathing frequently throughout the night that result\nfrom a blockage in the airway. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the soft\ntissues in the back of the mouth and throat collapse, causing the upper airway\nto narrow. This can restrict airflow for as long as 1 minute, which can occur\nmore than 100 times per night. The lack of adequate oxygen takes a toll on the\nbody, increasing the risk of several health issues, including cardiovascular disease,\nheart attack, and stroke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, dentists are an invaluable asset in treating the\ncondition. As an alternative to a CPAP machine, patients with mild to moderate\nforms of the condition can choose an oral appliance<\/a>.\nThe custom-fit device protrudes the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open\nto prevent pauses in breathing. Dr. Kern is specially trained in treating obstructive\nsleep apnea with an oral appliance. He can improve your quality of life by helping\nyou breathe easier to sleep better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMJ Therapy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The temporomandibular joint is located on either side of\nyour face. It connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to perform everyday\ntasks, like chewing, speaking, and even yawning. Unfortunately, there may come\na time when your jaw doesn\u2019t work like it should. You may experience limited mobility,\nclicking, popping, and even pain. This is known as a TMJ disorder, which can\nsignificantly impact your daily life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Kern can stop your discomfort with TMJ therapy<\/a>. He\ntakes an impression of your mouth to create a mouthguard. This repositions your\njaw into a more comfortable resting position to take unnecessary strain off\nyour joint. Over time, it also retrains your jaw to rest there naturally to\ngive you long-term relief to eliminate your pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the Trusted Specialist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your general dentist is no longer enough, choose the\ntrusted specialist for TMJ therapy and treatment for sleep apnea in Cavalier,\nNorth Dakota. Dr. Kern offers the solutions you need to restore your quality of\nlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
