Is Your Practice Missing the Signs? Men’s Health Month Is the Perfect Time to Start the Conversation About Airway and Sleep Health
This June, your dental practice has a unique opportunity to make a deeper impact—not just with cleanings and crowns, but by helping patients discover a hidden health risk: sleep-related breathing disorders.
Most dentists don’t realize how often the signs of serious airway issues walk right through their doors. And with Father’s Day and Men’s Health Month converging, now is the perfect time to begin exploring how airway and sleep health can open the door to better care—and a new phase of professional growth.
Why This Matters:
Men are among the most at-risk—and the least likely to seek help—for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. They often ignore the warning signs: loud snoring, chronic fatigue, poor sleep, and morning headaches, believing it’s “just part of aging.”
But the consequences are serious.
Heart Disease & Stroke: Men with untreated OSA are far more likely to suffer cardiovascular events—and much earlier than their female counterparts.
Low Testosterone & ED: OSA disrupts hormone regulation and is linked to erectile dysfunction in over 60% of cases.
Mental Clarity & Emotional Health: Sleep disturbances impact memory, focus, and emotional well-being, affecting both work and relationships.
As a dentist, you may be the first provider to spot these red flags. And that gives you the power to make a meaningful difference.

This June, Consider a Simple Campaign:
You don’t need to be fully trained to start the conversation. Here are a few awareness ideas you can launch today:
Ask your team to say: “Do you know a dad or husband who snores?”
Put up a flyer or post on social media: “Snoring isn’t just annoying—it’s a red flag.”
Offer an informational handout or short questionnaire about airway risks in men.
Not Just Marketing—A Meaningful Mission:
Helping one man discover the truth behind his fatigue could transform his life—and position your practice as a leader in next-generation dental care.
This June, let awareness be your first step.
