Snoring in Warwick

If you or others are being kept awake by snoring, a dentist can help

What causes snoring?

Snoring is caused by vibrations in some part of your respiratory system as you breathe. This can include your mouth, airway nose or tongue, all of which relax as you sleep and can cause fluctuating obstructions. Sleep apnoea is a condition that also causes snoring.

Other factors that can contribute to or worsen snoring are:

Being overweight
Smoking
Drinking alcohol
Sleeping on your back

However, if you haven't been able to figure out the causes of your snoring, then a dentist can help you understand and fix it.

How can a dentist help you stop snoring?

The cause of snoring is usually located somewhere in your oral anatomy. So, by taking a professional look at your mouth, tongue and nose, they can get to the root cause of the issue and recommend relevant treatments.

These may include:

Wearing a retainer to keep your tongue in place as you sleep
Having a chin strap put in place to hold your mouth closed
Using a special device to keep your nose open
Medications to prevent swelling or restrictions in your airway
Exercises to strengthen your tongue or mouth to prevent blockages

They may also recommend making a few lifestyle changes to reduce the likelihood of snoring.

Should I tellmy dentist about my snoring?

You should tell your dentist about your snoring when you go to an initial consultation with the Pan Dental team. They will be able to look at your oral anatomy, recommend ways to fix the problem and help everyone get a good night's sleep.
