yes, very bad. At first he didn't like the c pap machine. He was all against it from the get go, but his doctor said he either uses it or die
So that was a wake up call for him. There are so many mask out there to try but my husband likes the one he has now really well. It is very very soft, not sure what it is made of, I'll have to ask him, but it is really small and just covers his nose. He still has days that he doesn't want to use it, but he doesn't have a choice. Sleep apnea is a very serious and dangerous sleep disorder. So maybe if the dentist thing doesn't work for you, I would give the c pap a shot.
