Topic Info
Snoring is more than an annoyance. It’s both a symptom and a condition that signals serious, potentially deadly, health problems. The member dentists of Snoring Isn’t Sexy® have united to promote the awareness of the consequences of Snoring and Sleep Apnea with a new campaign called “Snoring: Your Dentist Can Test So You Can Rest.” Founder of Snoring Isn't Sexy, Larry Barsh, DMD joins the show.

Dr. Barsh has been involved with dental sleep medicine since the early 1990s.
