Anti Snoring Treatments

The direct effect of snoring on the oral cavity is the cause of xerostomia (dry mouth). Xerostomia is a lack of salivary flow and saliva is needed to coat and moisten the oral tissues. Lack of salivary flow due to snoring may lead to various oral health problems. Such problems include halitosis (bad breath), burning mouth syndrome, infections and sores, tooth decay and gum disease.

Not Great service the Dentist kept talking down the work he had to do  by saying it might not work it may not be successful  , I don't know how long this will last etc etc  Yet his negativity and uncertainty was not  reflecting in the Price i was charged  almost €400.. It was as if he was looking for a get out of jail free card if his work wasn't good enough

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to Dr. Anna for the past 2 months she is absolutely brilliant she's is a true professional. I have had my teeth x-ray and checked I've also had a deep clean what a result afterwards and two fillings. I really hate the drilling but she is very gentle and professional. Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not recommended for composite bonding.

Had replacement of composite bonding done on 3 teeth and bonding on a 4th in this dentist and the finish was very poor by the dentist. Left with a ledge on one of the bonded teeth and unable to floss between two others as the bonding was done too tight. The dentist seemed quite rushed in finishing the composite bonding appointment.

Having previously had composite bonding done well, I do not recommend this dentists for composite bonding unless you’re prepared to return for fixes of poorly completed work. I had raised issues at the end of the appointment but dentist was dismissive. I didn’t have the opportunity to return to have it fixed due to travel and having to attend another dental practice to correct the work done in this dental practice.

1 stars for a nice place and friendly front desk staff, -4 stars for very poor amateur finish and expected better based on pricing which is standard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place has to be the best experience I've had at a dentist since I came home from the States, or ever in Ireland. They are so very friendly, not too long a wait to get an appointment and you get seen almost immediately on time. Brilliant.

FAQs

Anti-Snoring Treatments

Studies have shown that approximately 40% of the population of the industrialised countries snore and that this increases to 60% in men above the age of 60.

Many of the noises produced by snoring are caused by the vibration of the soft tissues. When you are asleep, the neck and throat naturally relax and the normal firmness of the tissues decreases. This can lead to obstruction of the airways, especially when the patient lies on their back.

The air we need must come in at a higher speed to make up for this, hence the vibration of the soft tissues.

Silensor

The Silensor uses a pair of clear plastic moulding, shaped to fit your teeth, which you slip into your mouth at bedtime. The top and bottom sections are connected at the sides by short plastic links, which have the effect of pulling your lower jaw slightly forward. This in turn holds the airways open, reducing the constriction that causes the snoring.
