If Your Spouse Doesn’t Kill You, the Snoring May

That snoring of yours does more than bug your spouse; it may be taking years off of your life!

Studies have shown that snoring can lead to atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries.  This thickening of the carotid artery lining can lead to stroke or death if the vessels become blocked.

Below is a link to an article published by researchers at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.  If this article doesn’t get your attention, then wake up!

Remember, if you are a chronic snorer you should be tested by a physician for sleep apnea.

  • If you have snoring but not sleep apnea, we can make a custom oral appliance that is able to eliminate or reduce the snoring to a level that pleases your spouse and your arteries.
  • If you have sleep apnea then an oral appliance may still be the solution, depending on the severity.

If you have concerns about snoring or sleep apnea, contact us or your physician to start getting quiet, restful sleep.
