Snoring can be treated by dentists in a number of ways

A dentist can provide effective treatment for snoring if you or your partner snore. About twenty to forty percent of adults snore. If you or your partner snore, you may be not getting enough sleep.

In order to treat snoring at your local dentist in Five Dock, it is essential to understand what causes it in the first place. These include:

In order to help you (and your partner) sleep well, dentists offer a variety of oral devices to treat snoring. In order to determine the cause of the problem, our dentist will perform an examination. Sometimes an ENT consultation and sleep study may be necessary.

In order to effectively resolve your snoring problem, Soothing Care Dental, the dentist in Five Dock locals trust provides custom-made snoring appliances. Some of the most common are listed below:

1) CPAP machines deliver constant and steady air pressure while sleeping through a hose connected to a mask or nose-piece.

This device works temporarily by moving your jaw forward. By moving your jaw forward, you will be able to reduce throat tightening, reducing snoring, and preventing sleep apnea.

A dental treatment that reduces snorting is oral appliance therapy (OAT). It uses an oral appliance that is designed to fit the patient, similar to a mouth guard or retainer. You can use it while you sleep to keep your airway open and unobstructed.

Using digital measurements or impressions taken by your dentist at your local dentist in Five Dock, a dental lab will build a model of your mouth. You will then receive this model for custom fitting. Your dentist will fit and adjust the OAT to ensure proper functionality and teach you how to use it.
