In addition to being a frustrating interruption to you and your partner’s sleep, excessive snoring may be a sign that you have a serious medical condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). OSA is dangerous because it causes your breathing to stop, as many as several hundred times every night. In turn, this hazardous disruption to sleep causes serious health issues, from fatigue and high blood pressure to an increased risk of stroke and heart attack.

The Knox Terrace Dental team can address your OSA using treatments such as custom-made dental splints. If you suffer from OSA, ask your dentist about a solution for your condition at your next appointment.
