Snoring - Your Dentistree Mornington
Are you fed up with your partner’s snoring or have you been asked to sleep in another room because of your snoring? Snoring can happen to anyone – you, your partner, and even your children. Resetting and refreshing before you start your day is important so you deserve a good night’s worth of rest.
Snoring happens when the airway is partially blocked. If you feel like your sleep is often interrupted by needing to gasp for air, or you wake up with fatigue often, then it may be time to get assessed by a health professional. Although we are passionate about holistic patient care and overall oral health at Your Dentistree Mornington, we care about your general health.
