Snoring Treatment Newbury | Somnowell Appliances

Snoring is a common condition that affects millions of people and can have a significant impact on both sleep quality and overall health. At The Rectory Dental Clinic, Dr Alfie Chan, a Newbury dentist, provides effective dental solutions to help patients reduce snoring and enjoy a better night’s sleep.

Snoring occurs when airflow is partially obstructed during sleep, causing the soft tissues of the throat, mouth, or nose to vibrate. These vibrations create the characteristic sound of snoring. While occasional snoring may be harmless, persistent or loud snoring can affect sleep quality, energy levels, and long-term wellbeing.

There are many factors that can contribute to snoring, including relaxation of the throat muscles during sleep, excess weight, alcohol consumption, smoking, nasal congestion, ageing, and sleeping on your back. Some individuals naturally have narrower airways or jaw positions that increase the likelihood of snoring. In certain cases, snoring may be linked to obstructive sleep apnoea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep and may require further medical assessment.
