Snoring is the noisy vibration of soft tissues in the throat during sleep, caused by partial blockage of the airway. It can affect sleep quality and, in some cases, be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea.
 

How Does an ENT treat snoring?

• Lifestyle changes: weight loss, avoiding alcohol before bed, sleeping on your side

• Nasal treatments: sprays or surgery to improve nasal airflow

• Oral devices: mouthguards to keep the airway open

• Surgery: to remove or reduce excess tissue in the throat (e.g., uvulopalatoplasty)
