Loud Snoring

Snoring is a common problem that dentists can help you with.

Snoring is a noise that is produced due to vibration of your soft palate. The noise can be quiet or it can be very loud, often with the person snoring not even aware of it.

Whether you are the person snoring or the person being kept awake by snoring; you must look for a solution.

Snoring itself is the symptom of many possible underlying causes such as:

• Narrow phryngeal opening (the back of the throat)
• Jaw muscle relaxation during sleep, with the lower jaw assuming a backward position.
• Fatty deposits around the neck area.
• Blocked nasal passages.
• Your tongue falling into the back of the mouth, often this happens when you sleep flat on your back

Snoring is more common with age and overall is more common in men than women.

Snoring can, if left untreated increase the risk of heart attack or stroke as well as feeling drowsy or sleep deprived.

If it doesn’t wake up the person who is snoring, it is often identified by a friend, partner or relative who is kept awake by the noise.

Snoring can also be an indicator of sleep apnea which is where you stop breathing for brief periods while asleep.

Each pause can mean missing several breaths and can happen many times during the same sleep session. Snoring and sleep apnea ( briefly stopping breathing while asleep) are major causes of road traffic accidents.

Less oxygen entering the body can lead to increased risk of heart disease.
