Is snoring affecting your health? Poor breathing during sleep, or snoring is the vibration of air through nose or throat as your muscles relax.
While some snoring can be diagnosed as ‘benign’ it is a sign of dysfunctional breathing during sleep. Healthy breathing during sleep should be silent, never through the mouth and never pausing.
Today sleep apnea affects up to a billion people world-wide. If you snore or mouth breathe, and you don’t already have sleep apnea, it’s highly likely that in your life you will be diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
So, what can you do?
Today’s guest is Dr.Mark Burhenne, author of the 8-Hour Sleep Paradox, and founder of Ask the Dentist, one of the largest online resources for dental health. Dr. Burhenne has dedicated his career to helping people connect oral health to bodily health. His concern is that dental education focuses solely on dental health, but as soon as you spend one day in real-world, clinical practice, you learn that patients with poor dental health have a host of other systemic, clinical symptoms.
In his book, Dr. Burhenne describes the role of the dentist in diagnosing and treating snoring, mouth breathing, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Functional dentistry utilizes the jaw, and musculature. And systemic inputs to breathing to help you stop snoring
