In 2009, Dr. Dar Radfar had the unfortunate experience of falling asleep at the wheel and crashing his car into a tree. He was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, which causes daytime sleepiness along with various medical conditions that affect the heart and whole body. He has since dedicated his career to helping dental patients with snoring and sleep apnea issues. A diplomat of the American Sleep & Breathing Academy and a TMJ specialist, Dr. Radfar has helped over 5,000 patients sleep better, experience fewer jaw issues, and improve gum, teeth, and overall health.
