Snoring


How can snoring be reduced?
Snoring is generally caused by and upper airway obstruction. The muscles of the palate, the uvula, or tonsils may all contribute to snoring. Research has shown that patients with sleep apnea may have a higher risk of stroke due to airway obstruction at night. It is important to have regular exams so your dentist can evaluate the oropharynx region for treatment to improve the snoring condition.
