Frequently Asked Questions About Snoring Treatment

How do I know if my snoring is a problem?
If a loved one complains about your snoring, this is a sign that you may need help to reduce the problem. You may wake up feeling tired or have a dry mouth. In some cases, you may awaken irritable and out of sorts.
What lifestyle changes can I attempt to reduce snoring?
People who are obese or overweight tend to snore more than others. If you try to lose weight, it might reduce your snoring problem. In addition, avoiding drinking alcohol too close to bedtime can keep snoring away. Clearing the nasal passages can help too. Try adhesive strips to hold your nose open or have a doctor evaluate you for allergies. Try to avoid sleeping on your back.
How does a mandibular advancement device work?
A mandibular advancement device works by moving the tongue and lower jaw forward. This motion helps to keep the airway open during sleep. Who is a good candidate for a mandibular advancement device? Most people who snore can benefit from such a device, but they should consult their dentists to determine which type they should use. They are unsuitable for denture wearers or people with severe dental bite problems.
Can snoring signal a dangerous health problem?
Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea, occurs when tissues block the airway and cause breathing to start and stop at night. The condition results in loud snoring and a lack of oxygen. You may wake up gasping for air. Your doctor can help you determine whether you have sleep apnea or a less severe type of snoring.
