Snoring

About Snoring

Snoring brings people to DrTalks, often because a partner is worried or nobody in the house is sleeping. Loud nightly snoring, waking up tired with a dry mouth, gasping or pauses in breathing, a child who snores and breathes through the mouth, or grinding teeth at night are all things these experts talk about. These talks also go past earplugs. The videos connect snoring to sleep apnea, a narrow airway and jaw, mouth breathing, weight, alcohol, hormones in menopause, and how poor sleep affects the heart and brain. You'll find conversations on oral appliances versus CPAP, kids' airways and facial development, and breathing retraining. Doctors, sleep specialists, dentists and breathing coaches explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, especially a sleep study, and what helps, from oral appliances and CPAP to nasal breathing, breathwork and better sleep habits.
