What Causes Chronic Snoring?
Sometimes the throat muscles and tissues around your airway become too relaxed when you fall asleep. When air passes by them, it causes them to vibrate, resulting in snoring. There are several risk factors that can increase your likelihood of chronic snoring, such as:
- Age: As you grow older, the muscles in your throat start to lose their tone, making them more prone to collapsing.
- Weight: Statistically, people who are overweight tend to be more likely to snore.
- Anatomy: Some people have naturally narrow airways. This means they have to breathe more forcefully, which can result in tissue vibrations.
- Sinus Issues: You may find yourself snoring if you’re suffering from allergies or any other issues that have resulted in blocked sinuses.
- Sleep Posture: Sleeping on your back can make snoring worse because it causes the soft tissues in your throat to fall backward and block your airway.
Treatment for Snoring
Here at Southridge Dental, we help our patients improve the quality of their slumber with the help of Solea Sleep laser treatment. Using ultra-low laser energy, we can stiffen the collagen in your soft tissues. This ultimately reduces snoring by making these tissues less prone to vibrating.
Solea Sleep laser treatment is minimally invasive. It typically requires two sessions, and the laser usually only needs to be used for about 10 minutes each time. The results often last for around a year (or longer in some cases).
Why Is It Important to Receive Treatment?
It’s easy to see snoring as a mere nuisance that you can learn to live with, but this is often a mistake. If your snoring keeps your partner up at night, it could have an adverse effect on your relationship. Furthermore, chronic snoring is associated with various symptoms, including fatigue, restlessness, lack of focus, moodiness, and excessive tiredness during the day.
In certain cases, chronic snoring could even be a warning sign that you have sleep apnea. This is an all-too-common sleep disorder that can frequently disrupt your slumber and have serious consequences for your overall health.
In short, snoring is simply not something you can afford to ignore. The sooner you have it treated, the better it is for your health and your quality of life. And if you reach out to our practice now, you can get the relief you deserve and save money by taking advantage of our sleep treatment special.
Solea Snoring Treatment FAQs
Is Solea used to treat sleep apnea?
Solea laser treatment is not designed to cure or treat sleep apnea. Instead, it is to be used in addition to CPAP therapy or an oral appliance to help reduce the symptoms commonly associated with sleep apnea. Incorporating Solea into your treatment regimen, you can expect your snoring to improve so that you can get a better night’s sleep.
How does Solea work?
Solea is used by a trusted sleep dentist like Dr. Tandon to improve snoring. She will use this ultra-low laser treatment to tighten the collagen within the soft palate of your mouth. This effectively (and safely) reduces any vibrations that cause you to snore throughout the night.
As a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment option, the process is quick – only requiring about 10 minutes – and requires two sessions. You should expect to notice immediate relief, allowing you and your bed partner to start getting the much-needed rest you both deserve.
Is Solea painful?
One of the great benefits of laser technology is how painless it is. Although it is possible for you to feel a warm sensation during treatment, most individuals never feel any discomfort.
Before administering Solea snoring treatment in Inver Grove Heights, you can expect Dr. Tandon to apply a topical anesthetic. This will numb your soft palate so that you do not begin to gag or experience discomfort throughout the procedure.
Once treatment is complete, you can expect some slight irritation and soreness during the first 24 hours, but this will quickly dissipate after the first full day.
How long does Solea last?
You can expect your Solea results to last anywhere from 12-15 months. As helpful as it would be for this solution to be permanent, it is natural for the tissue to relax/loosen with regular wear.
During your consultation with Dr. Tandon, you can expect her to go over the details of Solea treatment and the possible maintenance that will be necessary to ensure your results last. This will give you the best chance to enjoy a greater quality of life in the long run.
