This decrease in space is motivated by the relaxation of the muscles of the tongue and the mouth and palate. This causes the soft tissues to vibrate and cause snoring.<\/p>\n<p>Snoring can be classified into:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Mild snoring<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Moderate or severe snoring, called recurrent. Within this type it is important to evaluate if it is an obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (by a specialist doctor).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is estimated that 45% of individuals snore occasionally at night and 25% do so frequently. It is more prevalent in men, with 40% respecting 20% \u200b\u200bof women.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that more than 1 in 3 patients who come to the dental office suffer from snoring.<\/p>\n<h2>What health problems can snoring cause?<\/h2>\n<p>The lack of a good flow of air can cause, in certain occasions, a decrease in oxygen levels in the blood. This decrease can affect the brain and can cause interruptions during sleep. This causes a series of symptoms to appear:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Continuous and general tiredness<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Depression<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Hypersomnolence<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Memory loss<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Hypertension<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Weight gain, among others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All these problems cause the quality of life of the patient to be altered and therefore increase the chances of suffering accidents at work and traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Dentists can prescribe solutions for mild and moderate snoring. In the case of ground apnea, referral to a specialist (neurophysiologist, ENT or pulmonologist) is required to be able to assess and treat the pathology properly.<\/p>\n<h3>How can snoring be treated?<\/h3>\n<p>Most of the solutions for snoring can be performed in the dental office, thanks to a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/dental-team\" title=\"dentist\">dentist<\/a> who has mastered these types of alterations.At <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/\" title=\"Smile Care Plymouth\">Smile Care Plymouth<\/a> Dental we have the latest dental updates and with it the latest technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Snoring can be solved with 3 different solutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Improving habits and behaviors<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Using tapes<\/li>\n<li data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\">With a mandibular advancement device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In our <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/\" title=\"dental clinic\">dental clinic<\/a>, we have acquired the latest in mandibular advancement devices, the <i>Ronfin<\/i><i>\u00ae. <\/i>These types of devices are based on a palatal prosthesis that serves to advance the mandibular area and thus widens the retrolingual area.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>Ronfin\u00ae<\/i> It is an exclusive mandibular advancement device (DAM) and it is patented with the highest quality and with guaranteed results.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>|<\/p>\n<p>We hope you liked this article. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/\">Smile Care in Plymouth<\/a> can offer you a complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/dental-bridges-plymouth\">Smile Makeover<\/a> for that Hollywood smile you dreamed of, or should you only need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/dental-implants-plymouth\">Dental Implants<\/a> our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/dental-team\">Plymouth Team <\/a>is on hand to give help and advice.
