Snoring is caused when the tissue around your airway vibrates while you breathe in your sleep. It is usually caused by excess flesh or tissue around the throat. Snoring can severely disrupt sleep not only for you but for your loved ones, and it can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. Our dental clinic offers a variety of snoring treatments to help you stop snoring and sleep easy.
To diagnose the cause of your snoring we will evaluate the health of your mouth, jaw and throat to see if there are any abnormalities or factors contributing to the problem. We will also assess your overall health and habits.
The most effective solution for snoring is to lose weight. Most snoring is caused by an excess of tissue around the airway, and if you lose weight you reduce the amount of this tissue. Other treatments that we may try are anti-snoring appliances, sleep counselling, stress counselling and possible medical interventions.
If you or one of your loved ones snores, you owe it to yourself and your family to seek treatment. Contact our office for a counselling session today.
