Snoring and Sleep Apnoea

Understanding Sleep Apnoea

While occasional snoring is normal, persistent snoring could be a sign of sleep apnoea, a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep due to the relaxation of throat muscles. These pauses in breathing, followed by gasps or snorts, prevent deep, restorative sleep, which is essential for overall health.

Health Risks of Sleep Apnoea

Sleep apnoea sufferers often experience daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and an increased risk of serious health problems, such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. Lack of quality sleep also raises the chances of accidents while driving or operating machinery.

How Helix Dentistry Treats Sleep Apnoea

At Helix Dentistry, we offer effective treatments for mild to moderate sleep apnoea through the use of custom-made night splints. These devices are designed to gently move the lower jaw and tongue slightly forward during sleep, helping to keep the airway open and preventing blockage. This non-invasive approach can greatly improve sleep quality, allowing both the patient and their partner to enjoy a more peaceful night’s rest.

Benefits of Treatment

By addressing sleep apnoea with a custom night splint, patients can experience a significant reduction in snoring, improved energy levels, better concentration, and an overall enhancement in well-being. Most importantly, treating sleep apnoea can help prevent long-term health risks associated with the condition.
