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.
