Snoring

Restful Nights & Healthier Sleep

At Van Orman Dental, we understand that snoring can be more than just a nighttime nuisance—it can be a sign of underlying health issues and impact both your sleep quality and overall well-being. Our snoring treatment solutions are designed to help you breathe better, sleep soundly, and wake up refreshed.

What Causes Snoring?

Snoring occurs when airflow is partially blocked during sleep, causing vibrations in the throat tissues. Common causes include:

  • Obstructed Airways – Due to nasal congestion, allergies, or a deviated septum
  • Relaxed Throat Muscles – Often caused by aging, alcohol consumption, or sedatives
  • Excess Weight – Extra tissue around the neck can put pressure on airways
  • Sleep Position – Sleeping on your back can cause the tongue and soft tissues to collapse into the throat
  • Enlarged Tonsils or Uvula – These structures can narrow the airway and increase vibration

How Snoring Affects Your Health

While occasional snoring is normal, chronic snoring can indicate a more serious problem like sleep apnea, which can lead to:

  • Daytime fatigue and poor concentration
  • Increased risk of heart disease and high blood pressure
  • Disrupted sleep for you and your partner
  • Headaches, dry mouth, or sore throat in the morning
