Conditions
Sleep & Snoring
Snoring occurs when there is an obstruction to the free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose. It disturbs sleeping patterns and deprives the snorer of adequate rest. It may be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can lead to serious, long-term health problems. In children, severe snoring can decrease restorative sleep, sometimes causing hyperactivity and negatively impacting school performance. Seeking medical advice from our physicians for the evaluation and discussion of various treatment options concerning snoring or Obstructive Sleep Apnea may be helpful in restoring a restful nights’ sleep.
