How Dentists Can Help You Stop Snoring

1. How Dentists Can Help You Stop Snoring ●Your dental expert might suggest some tests to help supervise your sleep and snoring patterns. ●One of the major tests is a Polysomnogram. You might be required to spend the night in a sleep centre or hospital so that the doctor can check your blood flow and vital signs in your sleep. ●The tests can help recognize the exact root cause of your snoring. ●Following a Polysomnogram and other tests, the dentist can suggest two devices to be used to help with the snoring issues. Oral appliances ●These are available to be put in your mouth while you sleep. ●It is a highly recommended device for people who have sleep apnea due to the tongue getting in the way of the throat or obstructed airways while asleep. ●Oral appliances help realign your jaw and keep your tongue from repositioning, thus avoiding tongue obstruction and keeping your airway from thinning while you sleep.

2. ●They are small, non-invasive and portable appliances. They do not cause stuffy noses or rashes when in use. CPAP device ●These machines are fixed over your mouth and attached to a machine that aids in regulating your airflow and breathing in your sleep. ●There are full face masks and others that fit just over the nose and mouth. ●These machines are typically offered for severe snoring cases and sleep apnea. ●Though they appear to be large in size, they are way more effective when compared to oral appliances.
