This way, you can get a good night’s sleep without needing to worry about your oral health or the health of your partner and family.
Understanding Snoring
Snoring occurs when the airway becomes partially blocked during sleep, causing tissues to vibrate. This vibration produces the characteristic snoring sound.
Common Causes of Snoring:
- Obesity: Excess weight can contribute to snoring by narrowing the airway.
- Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol can relax the throat muscles, making snoring more likely.
- Smoking: Smoking irritates the throat and can worsen snoring.
- Sleep Position: Sleeping on your back can worsen snoring.
- Nasal Obstruction: Nasal congestion or allergies can contribute to snoring.
- Underlying Oral Care Issues: Other issues can cause sleep apnea, and this may put you in a vulnerable state as your body may not be getting the oxygen it needs.
If snoring is severe or accompanied by other symptoms like daytime sleepiness, fatigue, or morning headaches, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional.
We can assess your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.
