The Facts About Sleep Apnoea and How we Can Help

Even the hardiest night owl can start to struggle after a stream of sleepless nights. If you’re struggling with sleep apnoea and its taking its toll on your health and happiness, we are able to help.

What is sleep apnoea?

Sleep apnoea is a condition that affects your ability to breathe while you sleep. Apnoea is a term that describes disrupted breathing caused by a blocked airway for periods of 10 seconds or longer. In severe cases, sleep apnoea can be life-threatening and it requires long-term treatment. However, in minor cases it may be possible to reduce symptoms by making lifestyle changes or using a device that improves airflow during sleep.

Lifestyle changes

In most cases, sleep apnoea is linked to being overweight and making changes in order to lose weight can be highly beneficial. These changes may include doing regular exercise and eating a healthy, balanced and calorie-controlled diet. Giving up smoking and cutting down on drinking can also have a very positive impact on sleep apnoea and snoring.

Bite guards

We provide specialist bite guards, which are worn during the night to open up the airway and increase airflow while you sleep. These bite guards are custom-made to ensure that they are a comfortable fit.

At Liverpool Dental Spa we work with local health professionals to provide effective treatments for patients who suffer from sleep disorders and facilitate healthy sleep patterns.

If you’re struggling with a lack of sleep due to sleep apnoea, don’t suffer in silence. Call us today and book a consultation.
