Illume
Next week is National ‘Stop Snoring’ Week so we thought we’d take the opportunity to remind our clients about how Illume can help with snoring issues!
Illume dentists understand that snoring is an incredibly common problem, causing distress to both individuals and their sleep partners and ironically it is the non-snorer who suffers most - sometimes even resulting in relationship problems!
It’s estimated that 60% of the population snores at some point during their life, but it doesn’t have to get to the stage where it’s causing serious sleep deprivation! As well as our comprehensive dental services, Illume also offer Snore Guards – an individually made specialised type of mouthguard which is worn at night and can make a significant difference by reducing or eliminating snoring.
Dr Tim Rumney says, “Our clients are sometimes surprised when they find out that we offer this service – most people would initially think about visiting their GP with sleep associated problems. However, as with other mouth related issues including cancer, it’s often best to speak to your dentist first as they are in an ideal position to offer advice and even practical support. Many people may have tried 'do-it-yourself' appliances bought from the internet - ours are far better as they are specially made to fit each client and are adjustable.”
More information about the various different types of snoring and some of the causes can be found here – for full details about the Snore Guards that Illume dentists offer please contact us or speak to your dentist at your next appointment.
