Snoring and Sleep Disorders

A Good Night’s Sleep

Did you know that dentists play a role in treating snoring and sleeping disorders to help improve your quality of sleep? Sleep related breathing disorders are characterised by constant sleep disruption due to obstruction in your airways. At any point in time, approximately 5% of Australians are affected by Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The symptoms include often waking up at night and choking, excessively loud snoring, constant fatigue and tiredness during the day and headaches. OSA can usually be treated through a protective snoring mouthguard or a snoring device.
