SNORING AND SLEEP APNEA

BioM Dental offers the best treatment for snoring and sleep apnea, the two common sleep disorders. Statistics say that around 40 percent of people snore regularly. Anatomically, snoring is caused by partial closing of the upper airway. It closes partly and causes obstruction to the air in its travel to the lungs.

Snoring is common amongst those who have enlarged tongue or tonsils. The problem is also common in people who are overweight. Snoring can also be due to structural reasons such as the shape of one’s nose or jaw.

Snoring may be a sign of a more serious condition called Sleep Apnea. In this condition, patients stop breathing in the middle of the night.
