Half of us deal with snoring every night... This of course leads to groggy days for both the person snoring and the one forced to listen to the noise. A Dallas doctor says his procedure can stop the snoring for many people.
Dr. Craig Schwimmer put this little, medical gun inside the mouth and shots little plastic pillars into the uvula.
Schwimmer, who was a highly respected head and neck surgeon before becoming a highly respected gun-toting snoring guru, performs 25 percent of all pillar procedures in the world.
Doctor Schwimmer says his procedure works for nine out of ten patients.
That means there are some people who may need to try a different approach.
