Mint Dental Care Kingseat now offers Anti Snoring Devices!

What is snoring?
Snoring is the noise caused by partial closure of the airway due to the relaxation of the soft tissue in the upper throat. Certain factors increase the chances of snoring; physiology, gender, age, weight and lifestyle. Factors that lead to increased soft tissue around the neck contribute, as do factors that cause additional relaxation of muscles, such as drinking alcohol or the use of sleeping tablets.

What is obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)?
In extreme cases, partial closure of the airways can result in a drop in oxygen reaching the lungs. Equally, individuals can stop breathing all together, with the sleeper starting to breath again with a gasp, choke or snort. This is indicative of OSA, where our body is starved of oxygen for a short period of time. The body typically responds by a partial awakening due to an adrenaline surge, leaving sufferers often exhausted during the day.

The effects of snoring & OSA
Snoring and sleep apnoea can have an immense impact on the sufferer, their partner and their family:
daytime sleepiness
motivational issues
high stress levels
lack of energy
driving whilst tired
poor effectiveness

OSA is also shown to contribute to more serious health issues: increased risk of mental health concerns, increased blood pressure/hypertension, increased risk of diabetes, heightened chance of cardiovascular disease

Your dentist is able to offer a comprehensive diagnosis, treatment and follow up care service which should initiate with a snoring assessment - using clinically recommended measures to best understand you and your concerns. The assessment will highlight if OSA is a factor that needs further investigation. If this is the case, your dentist will refer you to your GP who may suggest a sleep study to accurately measure OSA. In addition, treatment should be offered - lifestyle choices need to be considered and a mandibular advancement splint (MAS) is suggested.

Our gold standard treatment is the most clinically-proven splint for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea.

This Month's Treatment in Focus: Facial Aesthetics

Discover Your Youthful Glow with Dr Gillian Wardrope
Facial aesthetics are non-surgical, cosmetic treatments designed to smooth away the visible signs of aging. It's a natural part of life for lines and wrinkles to appear as we get older. This happens because our bodies produce less of the essential proteins collagen and elastin, which keep our skin firm and supple. These changes often become most visible around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Other factors, like sun exposure and smoking, can also contribute to this process.

Use our online booking system, or contact us for more information about whether this is suitable for you.
