How to stop snoring

Posted on by romak

Snoring is caused by a partial closure of your airway during sleep, due to the muscles in your neck relaxing. Soft tissue then vibrates causing the snoring sound. Some people snore more than others for a number of reasons. Men tend to snore due to their greater upper body weight which means more soft tissue around the neck. If you are overweight you will also have more soft tissue around your neck increasing your chances of snoring. When we age our muscles become weaker and this leads to weaker throat muscles. And alcohol and sleeping tablets can cause additional relaxation of the muscles in the neck and throat.

Does snoring affect my health?

Snoring can lead to many problems:

  1. a lack of energy
  2. being less effective at work
  3. poor motivation
  4. daytime sleepiness
  5. tiredness when driving

Removing your dentures

Most dental professionals will advise you to remove your dentures at night to allow your mouth to rest and relax. You should always take care removing dentures as they are extremely fragile.

To remove them:

  1. Swish mouth with water.
  2. Slowly remove denture using a rocking motion.
  3. Remove residue from denture and mouth with warm water and a soft brush.

Cleaning your dentures

1. Soaking

Soaking with a denture cleansing tablet has several benefits.

  1. Cleans any bits of food that have been missed during brushing.
  2. Removes stains.
  3. Helps remove plaque and odour-causing bacteria to keep dentures fresh.


For best cleaning results:

  1. Drop one denture cleansing tablet into enough warm water (not hot) to cover the denture.
  2. Soak for the amount of time specified on the pack. The denture can also be left in solution overnight.

2. Brushing

For best results, brush with the solution using a soft bristled toothbrush to avoid scratching dentures.

3. Rinsing

Rinse the denture thoroughly with running water.
