Snoring may seem harmless, but it can disrupt your sleep and affect your overall well-being. At Hampton Smiles, we understand the impact of chronic snoring and offer effective solutions to help you and your loved ones enjoy quieter, more restful nights.
Understanding Snoring
Snoring occurs when relaxed throat tissues vibrate as airflow passes through during sleep. While occasional snoring is common, chronic snoring can be a sign of underlying sleep-disordered breathing, such as sleep apnea.
Did you know that approximately 90 million Americans snore? For some, snoring is a nuisance, but for others, it may indicate a more serious issue.
Factors Contributing to Snoring
Several factors can contribute to snoring, including obstructed nasal passages, relaxed throat muscles, bulky throat tissue, alcohol consumption, sleep position, and more.
Seeking Solutions
If chronic snoring is affecting your quality of sleep, it's essential to explore potential solutions. Our first step is to determine whether your snoring is indicative of a more serious condition like sleep apnea.
For primary snorers—those without sleep apnea—we offer custom-fabricated oral appliances. These devices, similar to sports mouthguards or orthodontic retainers, are worn during sleep and work by gently repositioning the jaw to improve airflow and reduce snoring.
Take Control of Your Sleep
Don't let chronic snoring disrupt your life or the lives of those around you. Call Hampton Smiles today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward quieter, more restful nights. REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT NOW.
