Company urges dentists to screen for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
NEW YORK CITY, NY, USA: It has been estimated that in the United States alone 20 million men, women and children suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. Millions more snore. Of these 20 million, only about 10 per cent have been diagnosed despite the fact that the average life span of an untreated sleep apneic is years less than those without sleep apnea. Because obstructive sleep apnea is reaching almost epidemic, Snoring Isn’t Sexy, an affiliation of qualified dentists, has launched an initiative to have all dentists screen their patients for both snoring and sleep apnea.

7. Check his morning breath.
Ask your man if he wakes up with a sour taste in his mouth, especially if he kept you awake all night with his snoring. Sour morning breath isn't just unkissable - it might be a sign of sleep apnea, a potentially serious disorder involving breathing interruptions during sleep. Sleep apnea increases pressure in the airway and the esophagus."Men with sour breath may be experiencing gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD] overnight," says Larry Barsh, M.D., author of The Secret Sex Lives of Snorers (an E-book available at www.SnoringIsntSexy.com) and a former professor at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine."Stomach acid is sucked into the mouth, leading to the bad taste."
GERD involves the back-up of gastric acids into the esophagus, which can cause heartburn and indigestion and injure the lining. Men are twice as likely to develop Barrett's esophagus, a condition where the esophageal lining is replaced with tissue similar to the intestinal lining. In rare cases, it leads to cancer, according to the NIH.
If you suspect sleep apnea, send your man to the doctor. He may need an overnight sleep study.
