Flint, United States, January 14, 2025 — The Let’s Talk Smiles podcast, hosted by Dr. Catrise Austin, is set to release an informative episode on January 14, 2025, that delves into the health implications of sleep-related issues such as sleep apnea and teeth grinding. Dr. Austin will be joined by sleep expert Dr. Dar Radfar and comedian Reese Davis to discuss how these conditions can affect not only physical and mental well-being but also romantic relationships.
The episode will shed light on the rising phenomenon of “sleep divorce,” where couples sleep separately due to disruptive snoring. With an estimated 30 percent of adults affected by sleep apnea, the discussion will explore how poor sleep quality impacts health and relationships, offering practical solutions to improve rest and comfort.
Dr. Radfar explains, “We can help people avoid serious health risks like high blood pressure, heart attacks, and depression. Sleep isn’t just about how many hours you get — it’s about the quality of those hours.”
Listeners will gain expert insight into the causes, symptoms, and consequences of sleep apnea and teeth grinding, which are often linked to stress, anxiety, jaw pain, cracked teeth, and TMJ disorders. The episode will also highlight effective treatments such as custom mouthguards, oral appliances, and CPAP machines, many of which are covered by insurance.
In addition to expert advice, Dr. Radfar and Reese Davis will share personal stories, including Dr. Radfar’s own experience of falling asleep while driving due to untreated sleep apnea, and Davis’s struggles with snoring and teeth grinding, which strained his relationship.
Dr. Austin encourages listeners to take proactive steps by discussing sleep issues with their dentist. “Ask your dentist about sleep apnea and teeth grinding at your next appointment — it could save your life.”
