We provide sleep apnoea treatment and snoring solutions. We help people get a good night’s sleep which in turn helps them with their overall physical and mental health.
What is Sleep Apnoea?
Sleep apnoea can make it difficult to breathe while sleeping or it can interrupt that breathing. This happens because of an airway that is partially or fully blocked during sleep. Aside from poor sleep, this can also lead to inadequate oxygen flow to the organs, irregular heart rhythm and strain on the lungs and heart. It can also lead to other serious health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke.
On the other hand, snoring is a less serious problem (which is more common in men) but can still affect your partner’s sleep patterns. This happens because of the vibrations in the airway while sleeping, which could be due to narrow airways, blockages or problems with the muscle tone. Although less serious, snoring has always been associated with weight and other health problems.
What Can Your Dentist Do?
Whether it’s sleep apnoea or just snoring, still the problem can’t be ignored because of the health problems associated with them.
We can help treat mild to moderate cases of sleep apnoea as well as snoring. Our dentist can perform an assessment and detect the early warning signs. Based on the assessment, we can construct and fit a mandibular advancement device (MAD). This will help reposition your jaw while sleeping so that the airflow will be smoother. It’s a simple and comfortable way to solve sleep disordered breathing.
