At Navakas Dental Care we can assist with the treatment of this condition called Obstructed Sleep Apnoea (OSA) to help you and your loved one have a great night sleep.
As common as snoring is, it does not make it any less dangerous to a person's general health, and could be indicative of severe underlying health problems.
Find out what OSA is.
Snoring is a sign of undiagnosed health problems. When snoring occurs, the muscles in the throat and the tongue relax blocking the airways causing a vibration in the area which is the sound of a snore.
While sleeping, the chances of a catastrophic health event such as a stroke, or heart attack become higher as the person struggles to breath. Snoring may also be linked to other conditions such as acid reflux, diabetes, tooth grinding and wear, depression and other issues.
The condition is known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and is very common, especially in males. Around 25% of Australian males and 9% of Australian females are thought to have the condition. It is also correlated with obesity.
