Is snoring affecting my quality of sleep?
Dental Sleep Medicine
We have collaborated with T32 Dental Specialists to provide dental sleep medicine that focuses on the use of oral appliance therapy to treat sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
SPOT THE SYMPTOMS
Key Indicators You Shouldn’t Ignore
Sleep-related breathing issues often go unnoticed but can have a significant impact on health, energy, and daily performance. From persistent snoring to daytime fatigue, recognising these warning signs is the first step toward effective treatment and long-term well-being.
Daytime Sleepiness
Excessive daytime sleepiness could be a sign of disrupted sleep caused by underlying issues like obstructive sleep apnea.
Poor Concentration at work?
Poor sleep quality can significantly impact your ability to concentrate and process information, affecting your performance and overall well-being.
Gasping for air in the middle of the night?
This unsettling experience could be a sign that your airway is blocked during sleep, a key symptom of sleep apnea. Left untreated, this condition can lead to serious health risks.
Snoring at night & disturbing your partner?
While snoring might seem harmless, it can be a warning sign of sleep-related breathing disorders, which might require medical attention.
How Snoring Happens?
When the flow of air from your mouth or nose to the lungs makes the tissues of the airway vibrate, snoring occurs. Snoring occurs when you are at rest or sleeping. It also happens when there is a blockage (obstruction) or narrowing in the nose, mouth, or throat (airway).
At times, you can snore so loud that it keeps your partner awake, which might also affect your ability to get restful sleep. Your sleep quality may be affected, eventually resulting in daytime sleepiness.
If your snoring affects your sleep and nothing is being done about it, you might suffer from high blood pressure. Snoring may lead to upper respiratory resistance syndrome or Sleep Apnea, which is a serious condition if left untreated.
