Four Ways to Reduce Snoring in Liverpool

Friday, January 5th, 2018

Snoring is a very common problem. If you live with a snorer or you snore on a regular basis, this can take its toll on your sleep quality and your mood, as well as your relationships with others. If snoring has become a problem in your household, here are 4 ways you can try and banish sleepless nights for good:

  1. Change your sleeping position: many people find that they snore when they sleep on their back, rather than their side. If you do snore, try and alter your position to open up the airways and allow more oxygen to reach your lungs.
  2. Avoid alcohol before bed: if you find that you snore after a night out, this is because alcohol causes the muscles in your throat to relax. Try and avoid drinking anything alcoholic for at least a couple of hours before you go to bed.
  3. Lose weight: in some cases, snoring is linked to being overweight. If you are in the overweight or obese BMI range, losing weight could help to reduce snoring, as well as improving your general health. The best way to go about this mission is to combine regular exercise with healthy eating. We are here to help if you need any advice.
  4. Call and book a consultation: sometimes, the causes of snoring may not be as simple as sleeping on your back or having a beer before bed. If minor changes haven’t made a difference, call us and book a consultation. In some cases, we can intervene by providing you with a customised device, which is used to open up the airway and help you breathe easy. The device helps to open up the airway by moving the lower jaw forward slightly and holding it in this position while you sleep.

Do you live with a snorer or do you feel guilty because your snoring is keeping others awake? If snoring is an issue, we’re here to help! Call us today to find out more.

How Liverpool Dental Spa can stop Snoring

Wednesday, December 13th, 2017

If snoring is keeping you awake at night and you’re dreaming of a good night’s sleep, we may be able to help. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we have experience in treating patients who snore on a regular basis and we can help to bring peace back to your household.

Why do I snore?

You may not know that you snore, but it’s highly likely that others will tell you if you’re keeping them up. If you’re tired of getting a barrage of complaints every morning or you feel guilty about keeping your other half up, we may have just the solution. The noise you hear when you snore is caused by the soft tissue at the back of the throat vibrating. In many cases, snoring occurs as a temporary effect of illness, for example when you have a cold, or when you change sleeping position. It’s very common to snore when you lie on your back, for example. Snoring can also be caused by drinking, as alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat. Persistent snoring may be a side-effect of smoking and it is also linked to being overweight.

How we can help

If you’ve tried changing your sleeping position and you’re still snoring, we may recommend wearing a specially designed bite guard at night. This bite guard is a device, which helps to improve air flow while you sleep, increasing the amount of oxygen you take in. The appliance works by adjusting the position of the jaw, moving the lower jaw forward slightly to maximise oxygen uptake.

Our bite guards are designed for the individual and they’re comfortable to wear.

If snoring is getting you down or you live with a snorer and you can’t remember the last time you had a peaceful night, now is the time to get in touch! We might just be able to make sleepless nights a thing of the past.

How Liverpool Dental Spa can help you stop snoring

Thursday, November 30th, 2017

There’s nothing that can divide a household quite like snoring. If you’re a snorer and you’re tired of facing a barrage of complaints every morning or you live with a snorer and you long for peaceful nights again, you’ve come to the right place! At Liverpool Dental Spa, we understand the importance of getting enough sleep and hopefully, we’ll find a solution that will restore peace in no time at all.

What causes snoring?

Snoring is often linked to lifestyle factors, for example, your weight and how much you drink or smoke, but it can also be associated with your sleeping position, allergies and structural issues in the nose that affect oxygen flow. Snoring is not the same as sleep apnoea, but loud, persistent snoring is often a sign of sleep apnoea. The noise you hear when somebody snores is created by vibrations of the soft tissue at the back of the throat.

Tackling snoring

If you snore on a regular basis, it’s worth trying to make changes to your lifestyle and sleeping on your side rather than your back. If snoring persists, we can provide treatment in the form of a device, which is designed to push the lower jaw forward. The outcome of using a mandibular repositioning device is an open airway, which facilitates easy breathing while you sleep. The device isn’t painful or uncomfortable and all it does is open up the airway to enable more oxygen to flow into the body.

Are you struggling with snoring? Is it difficult to remember the last time you had a good night’s sleep? If snoring is causing you problems, now is the time to pick up the phone and give us a call! We’re here to help, and hopefully, you’ll be dreaming sweetly before you know it.

How to Stop Snoring and Sleep Peacefully

Monday, May 1st, 2017

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!

How We Can Help You Stop Snoring

Wednesday, April 12th, 2017

Are you kept awake at night by your partner snoring? Do you struggle to remember the last time you had an unbroken night’s sleep? Or are you the snorer desperate to find a solution so that peace and harmony can be restored to the household? If snoring is a problem, we can help.

Why do people snore?

When you snore, the noise that other people hear is made by the soft tissue at the back of the throat vibrating. In many cases, people snore on a temporary basis, and this is often linked to your sleeping position, illnesses like coughs and colds, and allergies. It’s also very common to snore after drinking, as alcohol causes the muscles in the throat to relax. In the long-term, persistent snoring may be linked to being overweight or smoking. Snoring is not the same as sleep apnoea, but people who have sleep apnoea often snore as a result of breathing difficulties.

Solving the snoring problem

Snoring may not affect you, as you may be completely unaware that you do it. But it’s likely to take its toll on anyone you share your room with. If you snore, it can wake your partner up or make it difficult for them to drift off to sleep. Sleepless nights cause irritability, and you may find yourself arguing more than often. We recommend using a specially made bite guard to solve the snoring problem. Bite guards help to adjust the position of the jaw slightly, which opens up the airway when you sleep. This increases oxygen flow, and should stop you from snoring.

If you’d like to find out more about snoring remedies, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We could have you sleeping soundly in no time at all.

Thursday, December 22nd, 2016

We all need our sleep. If snoring or sleep apnoea are keeping you awake at night, we can help. Call us now, and hopefully we’ll have you sleeping peacefully in perfect time for silent Christmas nights.

What is sleep apnoea and what causes it?

Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder, which affects your breathing while you’re asleep. The term apnoea means that your breathing is restricted for episodes that last at least 10 seconds. In the most serious cases, sleep apnoea can be life-threatening. Snoring and sleep apnoea are the not the same. However, persistent snoring may be a symptom of sleep apnoea.

In many cases, sleep apnoea is associated with being overweight. This reduces oxygen flow because the airways are constricted. Smoking and other respiratory illnesses can also increase the risk of sleep apnoea. In some cases, symptoms may be exacerbated by lying in certain positons, usually on your back, and drinking alcohol.

How can dentists help?

You may think of going to the dentist if you’re having trouble sleeping. However, we can offer effective treatments for sleep apnoea and snoring. We provide custom-made bite guards, which can help to eliminate the symptoms of breathing troubles. The aim of the bite guard is to increase oxygen flow by opening up the airways. As the bite guard is made to fit you, you should find it very comfortable, and it should improve your sleep quality and that of those around you.

If you’re keen to restore peaceful nights to your household, now is the time to get in touch. Our expert dentists are ready and waiting to help. Don’t let sleepless nights ruin your Christmas!

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.

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.
