Snoring occurs when air flows through relaxed tissues in your throat, causing those membranes to vibrate as you breathe. As many as 45% of people snore sometimes, and 25% snore almost all the time.

If you have a snoring problem, you may want to try changing your pillow and position in bed. If it still doesn’t work, you can try alternative medicines, like herbs.

Hi, I'm Michael. Welcome to my blog!
I started my career as a dentist, and I became interested years later in sleep apnea and snoring management, after suffering it myself.
Many patients are unaware of the role that dentists play in the management and treatment of snoring. I developed this blog to allow me to directly engage those suffering from snoring in a conversation about what it is, how it can be treated, and what are the solutions.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find something to help you along the way.
