Snoring treatments

 

Did you know over 50% of adults in the UK suffer from snoring?

Few people realise the true effects of snoring. The medical term for this is sleep apnoea, which can have significant medical consequences if left untreated.

Sleep apnoea sufferers may experience the following:

• Prolonged tiredness
• Constant sleepiness
• Regular forgetfulness
• Increased blood pressure
• Cardiac problems
• Cardiovascular disease

Treating sleep apnoea is surprisingly simple

For most people, a simple custom fitted Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS) made here at Glenholme will suffice. The MAS is worn at night to prevent snoring.

For those who have a more severe form, the only alternative treatment is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or surgery, which can only be carried out through a specialist hospital clinic.
