Nothing breaks a quiet night quite like a loud, rumbling snoring sound. People snore when soft tissue blocks a their airways while they sleep, leading to the familiar disruptive noise. It can be an embarrassing problem for a person to have, and something that makes a good night’s sleep elusive for the snorer’s partner. Of course, if your snoring is occurring because of sleep apnea, it can be more than an inconvenience – you could be facing real health issues. Your dentist is able to help you stop snoring by providing you with a snore guard. This oral appliance will keep your airways open, so that you sleep peacefully, and quietly.
How Does A Snore Guard Stop A Person From Snoring?
A snore guard is able to stop you from snoring by preventing a blockage of your airways. It does so by holding your jaw in a position that is slightly forward, which stops soft tissue from covering the breathing passage.
A Snore Guard May Be Able To Help You Deal With Sleep Apnea
Some patients who are experiencing obstructive sleep apnea can be treated successfully with a snore guard. Sleep apnea is different from snoring because you have your air cut off by the blocking of your breathing passage. When this is not corrected in time, your body has to disrupt your sleep cycle to tend to it. Your dentist can work with you to determine if this is an approach that will work for you.
Taking Full Advantage Of Your Dentist’s Services
During your regular dental checkups, your dentist can work with you to fully care for your oral health. In addition to a check for decay and a professional teeth cleaning, you can talk to your dentist about treating issues like snoring, as well as bruxism and TMJ dysfunction (TMD).
