Dentist in OKC
Many people in the U.S. have problems with snoring, with studies showing that around 30% to 50% of the population snore. However, excessive snoring can lead to problems that disturb your sleep, including waking episodes, and other health issues, such as high blood pressure or even a stroke. Our dentist in OKC and our exceptional team are proud to offer sleep dentistry, helping you achieve the sleep you need for better overall health.
If you are experiencing a problem with snoring, what is happening is that the tissues in your throat are relaxing to the point where they partly block your airway. This makes the tissues in your throat and nose vibrate when you breathe, and the vibration leads to the unpleasant, grating sound. To help with mild or moderate snoring problems, we offer the Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance. The Silent Nite Sleep Appliance is a comfortable snore guard that moves your lower jaw forward while you are sleeping, keeping your airway open and stopping your tongue from becoming an obstruction to your breathing. Using a snore guard leads to easier breathing while you sleep, cutting down on your snoring and helping you get the good night’s rest that you need as well as preventing future health problems.
