Have a Silent Night This Christmas Thanks to Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Treatment

Thursday, December 10th, 2015

If silent nights are something of a rarity in your household due to snoring or sleep apnoea, we may be able to help restore peace this Christmas.

About snoring and sleep apnoea

Snoring is a very common problem. In most cases, it is a temporary issue that often coincides with colds and coughs, drinking alcohol or sleeping on your back. In some cases, snoring is a much more frequent or long-term issue and if snoring is starting to get you down or cause problems in your relationship, it’s time to do something about it. Persistent snoring may be a sign that your body is struggling to get enough oxygen while you sleep and there may be simple steps you can take to reduce snoring and improve your quality of sleep, as well as making things more harmonious with other members of the household. The main risks factors for snoring include smoking, being overweight, drinking alcohol and sleeping in a position that makes breathing more difficult.

Sleep apnoea is not the same as snoring, but snoring is often a symptom of sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea is a disorder that occurs when your breathing is interrupted as a result of the airway becoming obstructed when you sleep. Apnoea refers to disturbances that last at least 10 seconds. Mild sleep apnoea can often be improved by adopting healthy lifestyle choices, but in more severe cases, more intensive action should be taken.

Treating snoring and sleep apnoea

If snoring is a persistent problem or you have mild sleep apnoea, using a mandibular advancement device may be helpful. This custom-designed appliance helps to move the jaw forward, opening up the airway. Making positive changes to your lifestyle, such as giving up smoking, doing regular exercise, cutting down your alcohol intake and losing weight can also help.

What Causes Snoring, and How Can It Be Stopped?

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015

If you regularly wake during the night due to snoring or are living with a snorer and it’s making life difficult, we can help.

What causes snoring?

Snoring occurs when the soft tissue at the back of the mouth vibrates. It causes grunting, snorting and heavy breathing noises. Often, snoring is nothing to worry about, but if it keeps you or other people from enjoying a good night’s sleep on a regular basis, it may be worth thinking about seeking help. Sleep is so important because it enables us to rest and recharge our batteries ready for the next day. If you miss out on sleep on a frequent basis, it can lead to daytime tiredness, irritability, low energy levels and loss of focus and concentration.

There are various risk factors for snoring, which include:

  • being overweight
  • living a sedentary lifestyle
  • smoking
  • allergies
  • respiratory illnesses, such as asthma
  • drinking alcohol
  • sleeping on your back

What can be done to stop snoring?

Often, snoring can be helped by addressing some of the risk factors listed above and this may involve making very minor changes to your sleeping routine and your lifestyle choices. Losing weight, cutting down on alcohol (especially during the evenings) and taking up regular exercise can all make a huge difference. Giving up smoking is also really beneficial for sleep, as well as your general health and wellbeing.

In cases where snoring is linked to allergies, taking medication can help to ease symptoms. It may also be beneficial to invest in hypoallergenic bedding.

If snoring is linked to a lack of air flow while you sleep, we can provide a specialist custom-made bite guard that helps to keep the airway open while you sleep, increasing the amount of oxygen flowing into the body.

If you’re struggling with snoring, call us today. We could help to banish noisy nights and restore peace for good.

Ensure a Silent Night this Christmas with Sleep Apnoea Treatment in Liverpool

Thursday, December 4th, 2014

If you’re a snorer, you might think it’s the people you live with who suffer. But snoring can potentially be serious. If you snore on a regular basis, this can be a sign that your body is struggling to get the oxygen it requires and this can be symptomatic of sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder, characterised by interrupted periods of breathing when you sleep. In severe cases, sleep apnoea can be very dangerous and even fatal, which is why careful management is essential.

What is sleep apnoea?

Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder that affects your breathing when you sleep. Apnoea refers to periods of disrupted breathing, which last for at least 10 seconds. During this time, the airway becomes blocked. Sleep apnoea occurs when the muscles in the throat relax completely, causing the airway to be obstructed and airflow to be dramatically reduced.

There are various risk factors for sleep apnoea including obesity, smoking, genetics and drinking alcohol.

What can be done for sleep apnoea?

In minor cases, there may be no need for formal treatment and making lifestyle changes can have a huge impact. These changes include exercising more, losing weight, cutting down alcohol consumption (especially late at night before bed) and giving up smoking.

In extremely severe cases, breathing apparatus may be recommended to increase air flow during the night. This involves the individual wearing a mask over their face when they sleep.

We can also help with minor and moderate cases b providing patients with custom-designed bite guards, which move the jaw forward slightly to open up the airway and increase air flow; this helps to ensure that enough oxygen is taken in and reduces the risk of snoring and apnoea. The device is made to fit and it should enable you and the people around you to sleep soundly.

If you’re looking to restore silent nights in your household this Christmas, don’t suffer in silence. We are here to help. Call now to make your appointment!

Thursday, September 25th, 2014

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.

Solve Your Snoring Problems In The Centre Of Liverpool

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014

Snoring is a problem most people shrug off, but it can actually have serious implications, not just for your heath, but also for your career and your personal relationships.

If you live with a snorer, you’re probably familiar with lying awake in the early hours trying desperately to get back to sleep before your alarm goes off and after a while, sleepless nights can really start to take their toll. You may feel tired during the day and this can affect concentration and energy levels, as well as your mood. If you’re sick of snoring, don’t suffer in silence. We have effective treatments to help you enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.

What causes snoring?

The actual noise of snoring is caused by vibrations of the soft tissue at the back of the mouth. Risk factors for snoring include obesity and being overweight, lying on your back, drinking alcohol, smoking and illness. Many people find that they snore when they have a cough or cold or if they sleep on their back, rather than their side, but if you snore on a regular basis, this indicates that your body is struggling to get enough oxygen.

How can we help?

We provide patients with specially designed guards, which can be worn during the night to adjust the position of the jaw in order to keep the airway open. This increases the amount of oxygen going into the body and helps to prevent snoring, meaning that you and your partner can get a good night’s sleep.

We work alongside doctors to provide a comprehensive service and ensure you feel wide awake and ready to go each morning.

Treating Snoring And Sleep Apnoea For Patients In The City Of Liverpool

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013

Snoring is a very common problem; most of us snore now and again, but for some people it is a constant issue, which may disrupt sleep and place strain and pressure on relationships.

What causes snoring?

The noises you hear when somebody next to you is snoring are made by the vibrations of the soft palate and the other soft tissues in the mouth. There are several risk factors for snoring, including being overweight or obese, sleeping on your back, drinking alcohol and suffering from illnesses, such as colds or flu and allergic rhinitis (this occurs when the inside of the nose becomes inflamed as a result of an allergy, usually to pollen).

Snoring can potentially be serious and it can have an impact on day to day life; it can also be a symptom of sleep apnoea.

What is sleep apnoea?

Sleep apnoea is a condition, which makes it very difficult to breathe during sleep; people who have severe sleep apnoea often wear oxygen masks during the night to ensure that they can breathe while they are asleep. Sleep apnoea is most common in people who are very overweight or obese; it occurs as a result of the airways becoming restricted.

Sleep apnoea can be very serious and potentially life-threatening; it is important that it is managed properly.

How can snoring and sleep apnoea be treated?

Lifestyle changes can help to ease symptoms of sleep apnoea and snoring; these changes may include avoiding alcohol in the evenings, cutting down on alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, losing weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

In tandem with lifestyle changes, other treatments may be beneficial. We offer specialist custom-made mouth guards to aid breathing during sleep by keeping the airways open and clear. Using a bite guard will make it easier to breathe and also restore calm to the bedroom and prevent early morning arguments caused by snoring and keeping your partner awake.
