Your dentist can get to the underlying issues
There are a number of reasons that you may be snoring, but some reasons are harder than others to figure out. One of the most common causes of snoring is sleep apnea, which can sometimes be challenging to diagnose. It is a condition in which a person’s airway is blocked while they’re sleeping. The result is pauses in breathing as well as shallow breathing overall.
Common symptoms of sleep apnea include being tired or drowsy all day long, waking up with headaches, and waking up with an excessively dry mouth. Dentists are trained to both identify sleep apnea and treat it, so they may be the best choices if you believe you have issues of this nature.
Your dentist can help find the best treatment for your situation
Dentists are very familiar with sleep apnea. As a result, they can offer the many options available to you. Some common sleep apnea solutions include CPAP machines, which work by blowing air through your throat via a hose that’s connected to a facemask you wear while you’re sleeping, oral appliances like mouth guards that keep your airway open while you sleep, and, in more severe situations, surgery.
Your dentist can work with you to find a plan to get your snoring under control
After your dentist has determined the reason for your snoring, they can work with you to come up with a treatment plan. if you decide to use a CPAP machine then there are a wide range of options out there, which we can help you choose. It’s important to choose the right one because if you end up with an option that’s ill fitting, it can make it feel restrictive and prevent you from using it. In other cases, we may recommend an oral appliance that we’ll create to work specifically with your mouth.
