Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment

Chances are you or someone you know has a snoring problem that is mild to severe and it is often the butt of many jokes. When we breathe, air flows in and out steadily between our nose or mouth, and our lungs. Typically there is not much sound to this when at a relaxed sitting or standing position. With any vigorous activity, however, the air moves much quicker and produces some minor sounds as we breathe. The reason this happens is the turbulence of the airflow causes some vibration in the nose and mouth.

Now, when we sleep, the area in the throat near the back where our uvula (informally known as the punching bag) becomes very relaxed and during breathing closes intermittently for a quick second or two. The airflow doesn’t change so it causes the tissue to vibrate and make noise—this is snoring. 

You Should Take Snoring More Seriously

While snoring does yield to some viral and admittedly funny videos on social media, and can even be a point of contention in relationships—you should take snoring more seriously. It can be the sign of something more serious or even be the catalyst for it.

Sleep-related dental issues like GERD (acid reflux) and teeth grinding may actually be signs of serious health risks such as heart disease, esophageal cancer, stroke and more. Not to mention snoring disrupts important stages of sleep and is proven to cause depression, memory loss, weight gain and more. 

TAP Sleep Care available from Comprehensive Dental Group successfully treats a wide array of disruptive snoring and even sleep apnea— a more severe form of snoring where breathing stops completely for extended periods of time.
