Snoring? Nodding Off A Lot? Did You Know Your Dentist Can Treat Sleep Apnoea?

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is a relatively common condition contributing to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, accidents and stroke. It is caused by the muscles in your mouth and throat relaxing and interfering with your breathing while you sleep.

Along with snoring, the first signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) that many people notice is falling asleep in the daytime — in front of the TV, at work or behind the wheel. SomnoDent® devices are an alternative to the traditional Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) mask. It works by holding your lower jaw slightly forward.

Nine out of ten users say SomnoDent is comfortable to use. They sleep better at night, and so do their partners! See your Doctor or Dentist for more information on Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.
