I’m here to talk to you about a sleep tip regarding oral appliance therapy or some of the information on the over-the-counter devices that are out there for snoring. We’ve been treating snoring and apnea patients for over 15 years, and common complaints about oral appliances that are internet or store bought include:  they fall out, they don’t last long, and they’re hard to adjust.  Overall, many people have lots of problems with these over-the-counter anti-snoring devices.

Oral appliances made by professionals, by dentists trained in dental sleep medicine are made with impressions of your own mouth and customized models. They are more comfortable, easy to adjust, easy to clean, and far more effective than the boil-and-bite devices that are really made for snoring, not for apnea.

If you are snoring or have apnea and are interested in a professional device that can help eliminate your snoring or your apnea, seek help. We are here to help you. www.TiredOfSnoring.com has a lot more information, including a wonderful audio podcast about the Dangers of Over-the-Counter Snoring Devices.

Today’s smart sleep tip involves what to do if you or your bed partner is snoring often. Knowing that it might be more serious, it’s important to find out and have the snoring evaluated.  It may be something more serious like obstructive sleep apnea, rather than just mild snoring.

One of the first places to start when evaluating your snoring for potential treatment is talk to a health care professional, somebody trained in sleep medicine. It’s also important to know that he/she might recommend a sleep test to evaluate your snoring. If that happens, I urge you to listen to my very informative audio podcast After Your Sleep Test: The 5 Questions You Must Ask!   It could save your life!

If you or your partner are snoring often, you need to know that it might be a sign of something more serious called  obstructive  sleep apnea (OSA).

During obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)  a patient stops breathing  or has pauses in breathing during sleep that can affect many other areas of health. For a lot more information I urge you to listen to my audio podcast  interview with Dr. Steve Park, an ENT sleep specialist, discussing Treating Snoring: A Life And Death Decision or visit www.TiredOfSnoring.com for more information.
