Special Treatments For Snorers In The City Of Liverpool

Monday, June 9th, 2014

Snoring is a problem that affects thousands of people in the UK. Sadly, most of the time it’s somebody else who bears the brunt of snoring. If your partner snores, this can wake you up, keep you awake and cause you to feel tired and irritable during the day. Prolonged periods of disturbed sleep can increase the risk of stress, health problems and strain on your relationship. If you live with a snorer or you snore on a regular basis, we can help! We use effective techniques to improve air flow and help you to enjoy a good night’s sleep.

What causes snoring?

Common risk factors for snoring include being overweight, drinking alcohol, smoking and respiratory illnesses. Sometimes, making changes to your lifestyle and your habits can help; for example, losing weight, exercising regularly, giving up smoking, changing your sleeping position and avoiding drinking alcohol during the evening.

How we can help

We work with medical experts to help patients who snore. Most people snore from time to time, usually when they are ill or they are lying on their back. However, persistent snoring is usually a sign that the body is not getting enough oxygen and we use techniques and appliances to ensure that this is not longer an issue. We use bite guards and appliances to move the jaw forward to increase air flow and prevent snoring. Treatment will also enable you to relax during the night and improve the quality of your sleep, which will leave you and your partner feeling fresher and more energetic the next day.

If you’re suffering as a result of snoring, let us help you to get a restful night’s sleep! Simply call us to arrange an appointment.

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.

Snoring And Sleep Apnea Treatments For Patients In Liverpool

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

We see the world through a glass darkly, and no glass is darker than the haze of sleeplessness: Once delightful task become odious chores, a simple crossword can feel like quantum mechanics, and that once beaming personality of yours is acting like it has crawled up from Hades’ realm. Sleep apnea is a condition characterised by abnormal breathing during sleep and, despite sufferers often not knowing they are suffering from it, it can leave its victims feeling greatly fatigued. Snoring is another, perhaps more well known, sleep condition; less well known, however, is that snoring does not just affect the others who have it hear it, it affects the snorer as well! Snoring is known to cause sleep deprivation to both snorers and those around them, it also seen as an early indication of sleep apnea! Well, thankfully we at Liverpool Dental Spa have a solution for those suffering from either of the aforementioned conditions!

A specialist bite guard

Snoring is often a sign that you aren’t getting quite enough oxygen when sleeping. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we can cook up a specialist bite guard which will keep your airways clear and have you breathing comfortably for the whole night. Snoring is often caused by soft tissue in the mouth falling inward whilst you sleep, blocking your airway. These bite guards tend to position the jaw forward ever so slightly, whilst keeping your tongue in an appropriate position, thus leaving your airway unblocked! This will, in turn, allow for a much more restful sleep. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we also work loosely with hospital professionals so as to provide an all-round service regarding the bite guard. Many snorers don’t realise quite how exhausted they have been until they have a good night’s sleep with one of our bite guards!
