What is the team approach?

There are estimated to be 20 million sleep apneics in the United States and this number is projected to rise to 40 million in 2010.

Just how many is 20,000,000 sleep apneics?

If a practitioner had a consultation appointment with one patient an hour, 24 hours a day, for 365 days a year - it would take that practitioner over 2,283 years to INITIATE treatment. That's in the United States alone and it doesn't account for new patients coming into the system at an ever increasing rate! The medical ramifications and medical problems associated with snoring and sleep apnea and the medical costs associated with treating associated diseases is far too great to ignore the problem, but to date, only an estimated 5 - 10% of people with sleep apnea have been identified, diagnosed and treated.

Snoring Isn't Sexy, LLC is the first and only multi-specialty directory for sleep medicine; developed with your best interest at the core and designed to give you the final choice of appropriate treatment. While Snoring Isn't Sexy is still primarily a directory of qualified dentists who treat snoring and sleep apnea, this new direction will not advocate any single treatment modality or any single specialty organization over another.

Because you deserve the most appropriate treatment as determined by a variety of specialty areas in joint consultation.

Providing appropriate care that is in your best interest requires that all practicing in this field be prepared to screen, to educate, to diagnose and to offer the treatment modality best suited to your individual needs. Our goal is to have you receive the best possible care and the most appropriate therapeutic regimen through a unified, medically and dentally sound approach, to the diagnosis and treatment of snoring and sleep apnea.
