Snoring and OSA can be effectively treated if they are correctly diagnosed and the cause of the obstruction is identified. Treatments include using an assisted breathing machine or continuous positive air pressure machine (CPAP), jaw repositioning dental devices, splints, and surgery. A sleep study is essential to treat any OSA.

Good sleep is vital, but unfortunately, it can be easily disrupted. Two common problems are snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

Snoring itself does not pose a health threat, but the noisy breathing of snorers may affect other people, causing them fatigue and even a bad mood.

However, if snoring is caused by obstructed air movement while breathing during sleep, it might indicate OSA.

What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnoea?

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is the repetitive stopping of breathing during sleep. It is a serious medical condition as it disrupts normal sleep patterns, which leads to teeth grinding, daytime sleepiness, lack of concentration, poor memory, and increased risks of work-related and motor vehicle accidents. Having interrupted breathing also means less oxygen circulating in the body. It increases the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, type 2 diabetes and obesity.

There are many risk factors associated with OSA, including blocked nose, deviated nasal septum, mouth breathing, fat deposits around the neck and alcohol consumption.

Importance Of Regular Children's Dental Check-ups

Just like their A-B-Cs, teach your kids the importance of looking after their smile! Taking them for regular dental check-ups sets them up for a lifetime of healthy teeth. Here’s how:

  • Gasping For Air During Sleep

    This one's a big red flag. It could indicate your airway is being blocked during sleep.

  • Waking Up With A Dry Mouth

    Waking up with a parched mouth is a common sign your breathing wasn't quite right throughout the night.

  • Struggling To Stay Awake

    Excessive daytime sleepiness, tiredness, and even anxiety can all stem from disrupted sleep due to snoring or a breathing disorder.

  • Having Trouble Focusing And Remembering Things

    Sleep disorders can drain your brainpower, making it hard to concentrate and retain information.

  • Experiencing Acid Reflux

    Snoring and sleep apnoea can worsen acid reflux symptoms.

If any of these resonate with you, don’t just lie in wait for better sleep. Our dentists can conduct tests to see if you have OSA and get you on the path to a better night’s rest.
