Snoring affects us all from time to time, but persistent snoring is a sign that the body is struggling to get enough oxygen, and it can be early indicator of sleep apnoea. At Liverpool Dental Spa we understand the importance of getting a good night’s sleep and we can provide treatment for snoring and sleep apnoea.
What is sleep apnoea?
Sleep apnoea is a condition that affects your breathing while you sleep. It can be very serious and is most commonly found in people who are overweight. The word apnoea means an interruption in breathing, which lasts for at least 10 seconds; it is caused by the muscles in the throat relaxing, causing the airway to become blocked. In mild cases, sleep apnoea can be controlled with lifestyle choices and specially designed appliances; however, in more severe cases, patients require careful monitoring and are usually advised to wear breathing apparatus during the night.
How we can help snoring and sleep apnoea
We have solutions for sleep apnoea and snoring. Both these issues can be alleviated using a custom-made bite guard, which helps to ensure that the airway stays open when you are sleeping. Your breathing will be better and there is a lower risk of sleep disturbance and snoring, which is also beneficial for your partner and other members of your household.
We can also offer lifestyle advice and tips to help to reduce the risk of snoring and sleep apnoea, such as giving up smoking, diet and nutritional information and posture and sleeping position.
