Is your partner at the end of their tether? Has snoring become an issue that you’re constantly arguing about, or is your household desperate for a peaceful night’s sleep? Snoring often has a greater impact on your partner, but that doesn’t stop it affecting you. You may not even know that you snore, but that won’t stop you from feeling guilty when your other half is awake all night. If you’re keen to restore peace to your household, here are some ways we can help.
What causes snoring?
Many people find that they snore when they have a cough or a cold or after they’ve been drinking. It’s also more common to snore when you sleep on your back rather than your side. If you snore from time to time, this is perfectly normal, but if snoring is persistent, this can be a sign that your body is struggling to get enough oxygen while you’re asleep. Being overweight, smoking and allergies can all increase the risk of frequent snoring.
How can we help you?
You may think it’s odd to seek advice from a dentist if you snore, but we are experts in treating snoring and we can help you to get back on track and enable your other half to get that uninterrupted sleep they crave. We treat snoring by providing you with a custom-made bite guard, which is designed to increase air flow while you sleep by opening up the airway. It does this by moving the lower jaw forward slightly and holding it in this position. The bite guard is made to fit your mouth, and you shouldn’t find it uncomfortable.
If snoring is making life at home a misery, now is the time to give us a call. We are here to help and hopefully, we’ll have you sleeping soundly in no time at all!
