This season can exacerbate an existing problem due to factors such as seasonal allergies or increased alcohol consumption at social events. I am Diego and I practice as a dentist in Murcia at V\u00e9lez &amp; Lozano and I will try to offer you clear and useful information about the causes and solutions for snoring.<\/p>\n<h2>What causes snoring?<\/h2>\n<p>Snoring occurs when airflow through the mouth and nose is obstructed during sleep. The causes can vary, and it is crucial to understand that several factors are involved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nasal obstruction<\/strong>A deviated septum, congestion or allergies can make it difficult to breathe through the nose, forcing you to breathe through your mouth and increasing the likelihood of snoring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overweight<\/strong>Excess tissue in the neck area can press on the airways and cause snoring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sleeping position<\/strong>Sleeping on the back can cause the tongue and soft palate to collapse towards the back of the throat, blocking the airway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alcohol consumption<\/strong>Relaxes the throat muscles, which can make snoring worse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Dental factors and snoring<\/h2>\n<p>Dentally, several conditions can contribute to snoring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dental malocclusion<\/strong>Incorrect alignment of the teeth can affect the position of the tongue and airflow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jaw size and position<\/strong>A small or receding jaw may restrict the airway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dental appliances and splints<\/strong>Some dental devices can help keep the airway open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Solutions for snoring from dentistry<\/h2>\n<p>There are several solutions that can be implemented in dentistry to reduce or eliminate snoring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mandibular advancement splints<\/strong>These devices are placed in the mouth at night and help to bring the jaw forward, which keeps the airway open.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Palatal expansion appliances<\/strong>Sleep apnoea: Used especially in cases of sleep apnoea, these devices help widen the palate and improve airflow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orthodontics<\/strong>In cases where dental malocclusion is the main cause, orthodontic treatment may be the solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for snoring<\/h2>\n<p>Summer can aggravate snoring due to factors such as increased seasonal allergies and alcohol consumption at social events. Here are some tips to mitigate snoring during this season:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Maintain the right weight<\/strong>Healthy weight can reduce pressure on the airways.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hydration<\/strong>Keep well hydrated to prevent nasal secretions and the soft palate from drying out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid alcohol before bedtime<\/strong>Limit alcohol consumption, especially in the evening, to avoid excessive relaxation of the throat muscles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sleeping on your side<\/strong>Changing your sleeping position can significantly reduce snoring. Using a pillow that keeps the head elevated can also help.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consult your dentist<\/strong>If snoring persists, it is essential to seek professional help. At V\u00e9lez &amp; Lozano, we can assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Snoring can be more than a nuisance; it is a problem that affects quality of life. At V\u00e9lez &amp; Lozano, we understand the importance of addressing this problem from a holistic perspective. With the right approach and the right treatment, you can enjoy a peaceful summer without nighttime interruptions.
