Do you or your partner suffer from breathing difficulties during sleep, such as snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea? As well as looking after your teeth and gums, our friendly dental team at Clifton Moor Dental Centre can also help prevent snoring and address obstructive sleep apnoea.
A variety of oral devices or mouthpieces are now available to help address your snoring problems. These durable appliances are created from impressions taken of your teeth, so they fit snugly. By preventing the lower jaw from dropping back during sleep, these devices can prevent the closure of your airways, which will stop you from snoring.
Your dentist here in York can fit one of these custom-made oral devices for you, so you and those around you can look forward to a more restful sleep.
I have been with this practice for many years, had really bad toothache this week, was fitted in very quickly. All the staff were very kind and efficient but special thanks to my dentist Andrew for his patience sorting out my stubborn tooth, great to be pain free, thank you so much.
Snoring is caused by the vibration of soft tissues in the throat and behind the tongue. If you’re a snorer, you are not alone. Studies suggest that at least 30% of all adults snore.It can be a major factor in sleep disturbance and stress, leading to lack of energy, poor concentration, mood swings, and irritability. In the long-term, snoring can also lead to health concerns including high blood pressure and heart problems.
With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) an increase in weight or a reduction in muscle tone can trigger the change from a partially blocked airway (snoring) to a completely blocked airway. Sufferers are often completely unaware of the disorder, and remain undiagnosed for several years. OSA has been linked to an increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth, to enable a mouth piece to be custom-made to fit you precisely and comfortably.
Made from a hard wearing plastic, the mouthpiece should be worn at night or while you are sleeping. It works by holding your bottom jaw in a slightly forward position.
This opens up your airway, helping you to breathe more easily. This stops the soft oral tissues from vibrating and helps prevent disruptive snoring.
We look forward to seeing you at our York dental practice soon. Book a snoring consultation.
