Snoring is just one of the warning signs that your jaws may be affecting you.
Snoring
Snoring can be annoying and antisocial as well as affecting the quality of your sleep, the effective absorption of oxygen and therefore the levels of oxygen in your blood - particularly the flow of oxygen to your brain. It is is a form of sleep deprivation with all the increased side effects, including daytime sleepiness and restlessness.
Snoring and sleep apnoea should not be taken lightly.
The jaws are the gateway to the human airway and good 'jaw health' plays a critical role
in managing snoring and sleep apnoea. See also: TMJ and TMD (Jaw dysfunction)
Sleep apnoea
People who snore often stop breathing for short periods of time during the night.
Sleep apnoea is where heavy snoring is interrupted by pauses and gasps.
Snoring and sleep apnoea can raise blood pressure and increase the likelihood of heart attack and even strokes. Today, preventative dental treatment plays a significant role in the management of common medical problems including snoring and sleep apnoea.
