Snoreguards
At Slipshoe Street Dental Practise we look to make sure our patients are fully aware of the detail around Snoreguards. If you need more info please contact us.
Simple snoring is the noise resulting from a partial closure of the airway during sleep. It is
estimated that over 45% of the population snores, leading to disrupted sleep for the sufferer
– and their bed partner.
Ranging from 50-100 decibels, the equivalent of a pneumatic drill, snoring can lead to
relationship issues, daytime sleepiness, increased stress and depression if left untreated.
Less often, snoring can also take place as part of a more serious condition, obstructive sleep
apnoea (OSA) which can have a profound effect on health and wellbeing.
Patients suffering from snoring often go untreated, as they are too embarrassed to seek help
for their problem. Those that do try to get help often consult their GP for a solution, where
certain lifestyle changes may be suggested including weight loss, different sleeping
positions, staying well hydrated and avoiding alcohol.
What many patients are unaware of is that dentists can provide a clinicially proven solution
to treat their snoring with a Mandibular Advancement Splint. The Sleepwell MAS is the most
clinically treatment of snoring and mild to moderate OSA.
Dr Westwood and his associates can provide Sleepwell treatment. Call today to book your
consultation.
Preventive Care
Here at Slipshoe Street we put prevention of disease and maintenance of oral/dental health above all else. This can help prevent the need for treatment.
