What is sleep dentistry?
Sleep Dentistry is a custom made appliance that is designed to alleviate snoring and sleep apnoea. This can have a dramatic positive effect on your quality of life as you will wake up feeling well rested and energised to face the day.
What causes snoring?
Snoring occurs when your jaw drops back causing your tongue and tissues at the back of the mouth collapse into your throat. This then vibrates as you try to draw breath.
Are snoring and sleep apnoea related?
In some instances people who snore do have sleep apnoea. When snoring is severe, the airway can be closed completely, resulting in sleep apnoea.
Sleep apnoea can be detrimental towards your health…
Sleep apnoea is characterised by pauses in breathing. When we consistently stop breathing, even if for only a matter of seconds at a time, discomforts and health concerns arise.
Symptoms of sleep apnoea:
- Inadequate sleep
- Headaches
- High blood pressure
- Lethargy
- The lungs are not use to their capacity so the lungs lose strength and elasticity
- This can lead to respiratory problems
- Dry throat
- Clenching the jaw causing tension and pain in the face
- Irreversible wear to your teeth from grinding of teeth
The good news is… these problems are totally preventable and we have the answer!
