Snoring
More Than Just a Nighttime Noise
Snoring is often dismissed as an annoying habit, but in reality, it can signal deeper health concerns that impact both you and your loved ones. Beyond disturbing your sleep partner, chronic snoring may affect your overall health, leading to fatigue, concentration problems, and even serious conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea. At our clinic, we provide effective dental solutions designed to reduce or eliminate snoring, helping you and your family enjoy restful nights.
Why Do People Snore?
Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in the throat, causing them to vibrate during breathing. Several factors can contribute to snoring:
- Nasal or Airway Obstruction - Allergies, sinus issues, or structural problems can restrict airflow.
- Relaxed Throat Muscles - Alcohol, sedatives, or natural muscle relaxation during sleep may contribute.
- Excess Weight - Extra tissue around the throat can narrow the airway.
- Sleep Position - Sleeping on the back often worsens snoring.
- Enlarged Tonsils or Tongue - These can physically obstruct airflow.
When Snoring Signals Something More Serious
Occasional snoring is common, but chronic or loud snoring can be linked to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke, and lead to daytime fatigue that affects work, mood, and safety.
