Are you worried about snoring? Perhaps it is yourself that snores all you have a partner, husband or wife that snores? Whatever the cause, snoring can become a major problem for both the individual and their partner.
In this blog post our Derby dentist, Dr Daniel Murphy takes an in-depth look at snoring, what it is, how it happens and what some of the potential treatments might be.
Why do people snore?
Snoring happens when a part of your airway becomes narrowed, when you are asleep and relaxed this narrowing can reverberate as you breathe causing the snoring sound.
Anything that makes this narrowing smaller or facilitates your relaxation and sleep can increase the likelihood of snoring, think about things like:
- Being overweight. The extra weight can restrict the airway and put more pressure on the narrowed part causing you to snore more.
- Drinking lots of alcohol. This can encourage a deeper sleep/unconsciousness which means the muscles relax and the airway narrows.
- Sleeping on your back. Your tongue can fall back narrowing the airway.
- Stopping smoking. Smoking can irritate and restrict your airway making snoring more likely.
There are also medical conditions such as sleep apnoea which mean your airway becomes temporarily blocked whilst you are asleep, this is not necessarily linked to weight, alcohol or the position in which you sleep.
How to stop snoring
Before you look at the ways to stop snoring it’s good to consider why you snore in the first place, this will then give you a more detailed answer.
Ways to stop snoring include:
- Mandibular advancement devices.
- CPAP Machines (Constant Positive Air Pressure).
These ways to stop snoring are in addition to the more obvious losing weight, drinking less and stopping smoking.
Mandibular advancement devices
Following a snoring assessment by your dentist mandibular advancement devices can help to dramatically reduce snoring. They work by pulling your lower jaw forwards, as your jaw comes forwards the attached muscles also pull forwards and open up your airway.
This technique is so effective that emergency medical crews will pull your lower jaw forwards if you are unconscious, this act alone can help to open and airway and allow an unconscious casualty to breathe more easily.
Mandibular advancement devices such as this are usually available from your dentist.
You would wear your mandibular advancement device at night, they are comfortable to wear and can help you get a good nights sleep, free from snoring.
This type of device is one of the stop snoring devices that really work.
Other stop snoring aids
Other aids to stop snoring include things like anti snoring pillows and devices which prevent you from lying on your back. These devices all primarily work in the same way, to change your position whilst sleeping so that you don’t snore.
If you’re snoring is not primarily caused by your position then you still may find that you snore when using some of these other devices, if this is the case then a mandibular advancement device may work better for you.
Operation to stop snoring
There is an operation called a somnoplasty, this operation is a simple procedure to modify the shape of your airway, particularly uvula and soft palate. It is done under local anaesthetic so is relatively quick with a short recovery time.
This treatment is however not suitable for people with sleep apnoea.
Obstructive sleep apnoea or OSA
OSA takes snoring to the next level, with this condition the muscles relax so much that the airway becomes completely blocked, when this happens breathing will become impossible.
Obstructive sleep apnoea can affect men, women and children alike, affecting sleep and overall health.
If the apnoea lasts for more than 10 seconds then the level of oxygen in the blood can reduce leading to hypoxia. If this happens frequently throughout the night it can lead to extremely disruptive sleep.
In extreme circumstances a constant positive air pressure machine can be used to keep the airway open, this ensures the blood remains oxygenated and because the airway doesn’t close so often sleep come be far better.
This type of machine will be prescribed by your doctor following sleep apnoea tests.
If you have snoring (as opposed to sleep apnoea) and would like more advice about which device can help, please contact our Derby dentist, Dr Daniel Murphy who will be pleased to see you for a consultation and discuss how a mandibular advancement device may be able to help.

There are a few options available to replace missing teeth, one option is a fixed bridge. A fixed bridge usually involves some kind of alterations to be made to the teeth surrounding it, so this is possibly not the best option available in order to preserve remaining natural teeth. Dentures are another option available to replace missing teeth. Dentures have been used as a solution to missing teeth for years, they have improved a significant amount in recent times and are more comfortable and natural looking than ever before, however they are not perfect. Dentures can still move around in the mouth and cause soreness of the gums, as well as some embarrassment if they slip around in or out of the mouth when eating, laughing, or talking so may not be the best solution for some people. in addition, dentures are not as natural looking as the third tooth replacement option- dental implants.
What’s so good about dental implants? Derby clinic Dove Dental Care will tell you
Dove Dental Care say that their dental implants in Derby are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth, as unlike fixed bridges, dental implants are fixed into the jaw and in no way rely on the surrounding teeth for support, this ensures that the natural teeth in your mouth will remain undamaged. The implant will never move around or fall out of the mouth like some dentures can, this is because the titanium screw that the implant is made out of, is joined to the bone in your jaw and can only be removed by a dentist, this removes any chance of unwanted dental mishaps. Of Course, people don’t have to replace missing teeth, but if not replaced it is common for teeth that surround the area to drift into the gap which can affect a person’s ‘bite’ and can make it difficult to replace the missing tooth in the future. In addition, missing teeth can cause the cheeks to sink in and making the face look gaunt. Dental implants in Derby can prevent this from happening. Contact Dove Dental to find out more about how their Derby dental implants can help you.
There are now an increasing range of options and dental treatments, if you are looking to improve the quality of your teeth in Derby. Dental implants are becoming a popular choice for anyone who, is looking to replace a missing tooth. Traditionally, for those who have lost many teeth, dentures would have been the only option. Now you have a range of treatments to choose from, and we here at Dove Dental Care, can advise you on the best treatment for you.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth made especially for you, which is secured into your gum, using a titanium metal screw (the implant). The permanence of the tooth will allow you to continue eating as normal, with all the convenience of a real tooth. The natural look of the material, will allow you to smile in confidence, as you enjoy the benefit of your dental implant, in Derby.
Is the treatment affordable?
We know that, dental work can be what puts many people off from receiving the essential care that they need in Derby. Dental implants can be an expensive option for some people, with limitations of a monthly budget, so we here at Dove Dental Care, offer a treatment plan that can help. If you sign up to a monthly dental plan of only £18.97, then you will receive a helping 15% off any dental implants and other treatments.

We’ve just picked up on some recent research from the University of Cardiff which showed that of the 160 children that responded to their survey 89.4% of them stated that they drank sports drinks with half of them drinking them at least twice a week. What most parents and children don’t realise is that these drinks are intended to improve performance and keep athletes hydrated and are not intended to be drank as recreational drinks, especially by young people.
You will probably have seen that drinking these drinks has been marketed as being fashionable, trendy and often healthy which has led to a surge in popularity amongst the younger members of our population.
When the researchers asked the children that responded why they drank these drinks, the main reason was attributed to the nice taste (90% of respondents) with 80.4% of respondents purchasing the drinks from local shops. 77.9% of boys came to drink sports drinks during physical activity whilst only 48.6% of girls claimed the same thing however, more girls claim to drink socially, 51.4% compared to 48.5% for boys.
Alarmingly, a study reported in the independent.ie says that 55% of the sports drinks consumed at home rather than during any exercise at all!
The problem is not the sports drinks themselves, the problem is the fact that these drinks are formulated for enhanced exercise performance. The sugar in sports drinks is there to give fast absorption of carbohydrate so that the muscles can run at peak performance. Yet if these drinks are consumed with out the physical exercise then the body is not using the sugar in this way.
Lucozade sport, for example Contains 27 g of sugar or 7 teaspoons worth in a 750 mL bottle. The world health organisation recommends people consume a maximum of 50 g of added sugar per day, meaning one bottle of Lucozade sport is more than 50% of your daily recommended intake.
Obesity expert Dr Donal O’Shea says:
“If you’re a gold medal Olympian who’s burning 6,000 calories a day and can’t eat enough to replace that, maybe a sports drink is okay, but for everyone else they have no benefit,”
The government’s recent launch of their Change4Life campaign of the Sugar Smart app goes a long way to helping children understand how much sugar is contained in various drinks, because this is an app, children find it more interactive and a useful way to scan their favourite drinks to see how much sugar is included.
What are the risks to your dental health of too much sugar?
We’ve written in other blog posts about the effects of too much sugar with regards to diabetes and obesity but there are also risks to your dental health.
Dental decay is caused by the acid excreting from the bacteria in your mouth, these bacteria feed prolifically on the sugar in your diet, the more sugar you have, the more they feed on the more acid they excrete.
In the most part your saliva neutralises this acid but it can only work to a certain degree, too much acid and it attacks your teeth and causes dental decay.
One of the biggest problems is that these bacteria lurk in between your teeth which is notoriously difficult to clean, this is why using an interdental brush or floss is absolutely vital for maintaining your dental health.
Here is, perhaps a more honest advert for sports drinks!
Ways to reduce sugar intake
It is fairly easy to limit the amount of added sugar that you put on food, more difficult is being aware of the sugar that you don’t know you are eating. It’s important to doublecheck things like sauces, dressings, cereals plus prepackaged food like soup and ready meals.
Fizzy drinks contain a huge amount of sugar, a 500 mL bottle of cola contains the equivalent of 17 cubes of sugar. Even when you drink fruit juice you are still consuming a large amount of additional sugar.
Here are a few additional tips to reduce sugar intake:
- Consider sweeteners in moderation instead of adding sugar.
- Remove the temptation of adding sugar by not putting it on the table in the first place. Remember, syrup and honey also contain sugar, so keep these safely in the cupboard also.
- Enhance your food with spices instead of sugar, things like ginger, cinnamon or nutmeg can add interesting flavours without adding sugar.
- Purchase sugarfree drinks or get into the habit of drinking water, perhaps with a slice of lemon or lime to give it a fresh taste.
- When baking reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by up to 1/2, often you won’t notice any difference.
- If you purchase tinned fruit, make sure it is in water or natural juices rather than in syrup.
- If you like sugary cereal, rather than add sugar, experiment with different fruits such as bananas, cherries, strawberries or dried fruits such as apricots, raisins or cranberries.
Dove Dental Care is a dental practice in Derby with a keen interest in helping patients, young and old improve and maintain their dental health.
Increasing numbers of dentists are recommending dental implants to replace missing teeth. At Dove Dental Care in Derby, our skilled implantology team can use these ingenious little bionic tooth roots to restore your smile and replace anything from one to all of your natural teeth.
Replacing missing teeth is always important, no matter where in your mouth you have lost a tooth from. Even a single missing tooth automatically puts more strain on your remaining teeth, which may also move out of position and change alignment as they shift into the gap.
When several teeth (or even all the natural teeth) are missing, you will experience severe difficulty in eating anything but soft foods – making it hard to get proper nutrition – and will find both speech and self-confidence affected.
At our Derby dental practice, we believe that – more often than not – dental implants are the ideal solution to tooth loss.
Derby dental implants: how it works
Your implant journey will start with a consultation with an implant dentist here at our Derby clinic. This will involve a detailed examination, including any necessary x-rays or scans, to check that you are suitable for dental implants.
The vast majority of patients only need local anaesthetic for the placement of dental implants in Derby, which many at our dental practice have reported as being much more tolerable than a tooth extraction.
As soon as your dental implants are in place, they will start to bond with your jaw bone in a process called osseointegration. This sees new bone tissue and blood vessels build up around the implants, creating a bond akin to that of natural tooth roots.
It will take a few months for your dental implants to fully integrate with your jaw bone, during which time your dentist may fit temporary teeth. When healing is complete, you will come into our Derby clinic to have your permanent new teeth attached.
These new teeth may be dentures, a bridge, or a single crown, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced. With good hygiene and proper aftercare, they could last a lifetime.
Are you happy with your smile? Here at Dove Dental in Derby, cosmetic dentistry is something we believe should be open to everybody – everyone should be able to have access to their smile potential.
So what is your smile potential? Most people have something they would like to change about their teeth, from having small tweaks to a full mouth makeover. There is nothing more glamorous then a big, bright, straight and healthy Hollywood style smile, and we would like to help you achieve that.
In Derby, cosmetic dentistry comes in several forms, each of which can be life-changing in the way they affect your confidence.
Do have crooked or misaligned teeth? A lot of people have an overbite, under bite or cross bite, protruding teeth or large gaps that they would prefer to be straight. We have several teeth straightening options available for you. We have invisible aligners, removable, customised options or those that work over a shorter period of time.
If you suffer from a missing tooth or teeth, you will be aware of the practical problems this can cause with eating, speaking and bone tissue deterioration. We are able to provide dental implant treatments, which provide a strong artificial root upon which we can attach replacement teeth that function as well as natural teeth – or better!
Teeth whitening is one of our most popular treatments. We fit you with customised trays to fit both your upper and lower teeth at our dental practice and you administer the treatment at home, either overnight or at a time that would be most convenient for your lifestyle. The results is a brighter, whiter but completely natural looking smile.
In Derby, cosmetic dentistry is not available cheaply (and you should be suspicious if it is!), but we understand that the finance side puts a lot of people off. We are able to help you spread the cost with our various in-house finance plans, starting from 0% interest depending on your circumstances.

We’ve just picked up on some recent research from the University of Cardiff which showed that of the 160 children that responded to their survey 89.4% of them stated that they drank sports drinks with half of them drinking them at least twice a week. What most parents and children don’t realise is that these drinks are intended to improve performance and keep athletes hydrated and are not intended to be drank as recreational drinks, especially by young people.
You will probably have seen that drinking these drinks has been marketed as being fashionable, trendy and often healthy which has led to a surge in popularity amongst the younger members of our population.
When the researchers asked the children that responded why they drank these drinks, the main reason was attributed to the nice taste (90% of respondents) with 80.4% of respondents purchasing the drinks from local shops. 77.9% of boys came to drink sports drinks during physical activity whilst only 48.6% of girls claimed the same thing however, more girls claim to drink socially, 51.4% compared to 48.5% for boys.
Alarmingly, a study reported in the independent.ie says that 55% of the sports drinks consumed at home rather than during any exercise at all!
The problem is not the sports drinks themselves, the problem is the fact that these drinks are formulated for enhanced exercise performance. The sugar in sports drinks is there to give fast absorption of carbohydrate so that the muscles can run at peak performance. Yet if these drinks are consumed with out the physical exercise then the body is not using the sugar in this way.
Lucozade sport, for example Contains 27 g of sugar or 7 teaspoons worth in a 750 mL bottle. The world health organisation recommends people consume a maximum of 50 g of added sugar per day, meaning one bottle of Lucozade sport is more than 50% of your daily recommended intake.
Obesity expert Dr Donal O’Shea says:
“If you’re a gold medal Olympian who’s burning 6,000 calories a day and can’t eat enough to replace that, maybe a sports drink is okay, but for everyone else they have no benefit,”
The government’s recent launch of their Change4Life campaign of the Sugar Smart app goes a long way to helping children understand how much sugar is contained in various drinks, because this is an app, children find it more interactive and a useful way to scan their favourite drinks to see how much sugar is included.
What are the risks to your dental health of too much sugar?
We’ve written in other blog posts about the effects of too much sugar with regards to diabetes and obesity but there are also risks to your dental health.
Dental decay is caused by the acid excreting from the bacteria in your mouth, these bacteria feed prolifically on the sugar in your diet, the more sugar you have, the more they feed on the more acid they excrete.
In the most part your saliva neutralises this acid but it can only work to a certain degree, too much acid and it attacks your teeth and causes dental decay.
One of the biggest problems is that these bacteria lurk in between your teeth which is notoriously difficult to clean, this is why using an interdental brush or floss is absolutely vital for maintaining your dental health.
Here is, perhaps a more honest advert for sports drinks!
Ways to reduce sugar intake
It is fairly easy to limit the amount of added sugar that you put on food, more difficult is being aware of the sugar that you don’t know you are eating. It’s important to doublecheck things like sauces, dressings, cereals plus prepackaged food like soup and ready meals.
Fizzy drinks contain a huge amount of sugar, a 500 mL bottle of cola contains the equivalent of 17 cubes of sugar. Even when you drink fruit juice you are still consuming a large amount of additional sugar.
Here are a few additional tips to reduce sugar intake:
- Consider sweeteners in moderation instead of adding sugar.
- Remove the temptation of adding sugar by not putting it on the table in the first place. Remember, syrup and honey also contain sugar, so keep these safely in the cupboard also.
- Enhance your food with spices instead of sugar, things like ginger, cinnamon or nutmeg can add interesting flavours without adding sugar.
- Purchase sugarfree drinks or get into the habit of drinking water, perhaps with a slice of lemon or lime to give it a fresh taste.
- When baking reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by up to 1/2, often you won’t notice any difference.
- If you purchase tinned fruit, make sure it is in water or natural juices rather than in syrup.
- If you like sugary cereal, rather than add sugar, experiment with different fruits such as bananas, cherries, strawberries or dried fruits such as apricots, raisins or cranberries.
Dove Dental Care is a dental practice in Derby with a keen interest in helping patients, young and old improve and maintain their dental health.
Increasing numbers of dentists are recommending dental implants to replace missing teeth. At Dove Dental Care in Derby, our skilled implantology team can use these ingenious little bionic tooth roots to restore your smile and replace anything from one to all of your natural teeth.
Replacing missing teeth is always important, no matter where in your mouth you have lost a tooth from. Even a single missing tooth automatically puts more strain on your remaining teeth, which may also move out of position and change alignment as they shift into the gap.
When several teeth (or even all the natural teeth) are missing, you will experience severe difficulty in eating anything but soft foods – making it hard to get proper nutrition – and will find both speech and self-confidence affected.
At our Derby dental practice, we believe that – more often than not – dental implants are the ideal solution to tooth loss.
Derby dental implants: how it works
Your implant journey will start with a consultation with an implant dentist here at our Derby clinic. This will involve a detailed examination, including any necessary x-rays or scans, to check that you are suitable for dental implants.
The vast majority of patients only need local anaesthetic for the placement of dental implants in Derby, which many at our dental practice have reported as being much more tolerable than a tooth extraction.
As soon as your dental implants are in place, they will start to bond with your jaw bone in a process called osseointegration. This sees new bone tissue and blood vessels build up around the implants, creating a bond akin to that of natural tooth roots.
It will take a few months for your dental implants to fully integrate with your jaw bone, during which time your dentist may fit temporary teeth. When healing is complete, you will come into our Derby clinic to have your permanent new teeth attached.
These new teeth may be dentures, a bridge, or a single crown, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced. With good hygiene and proper aftercare, they could last a lifetime.
Are you happy with your smile? Here at Dove Dental in Derby, cosmetic dentistry is something we believe should be open to everybody – everyone should be able to have access to their smile potential.
So what is your smile potential? Most people have something they would like to change about their teeth, from having small tweaks to a full mouth makeover. There is nothing more glamorous then a big, bright, straight and healthy Hollywood style smile, and we would like to help you achieve that.
In Derby, cosmetic dentistry comes in several forms, each of which can be life-changing in the way they affect your confidence.
Do have crooked or misaligned teeth? A lot of people have an overbite, under bite or cross bite, protruding teeth or large gaps that they would prefer to be straight. We have several teeth straightening options available for you. We have invisible aligners, removable, customised options or those that work over a shorter period of time.
If you suffer from a missing tooth or teeth, you will be aware of the practical problems this can cause with eating, speaking and bone tissue deterioration. We are able to provide dental implant treatments, which provide a strong artificial root upon which we can attach replacement teeth that function as well as natural teeth – or better!
Teeth whitening is one of our most popular treatments. We fit you with customised trays to fit both your upper and lower teeth at our dental practice and you administer the treatment at home, either overnight or at a time that would be most convenient for your lifestyle. The results is a brighter, whiter but completely natural looking smile.
In Derby, cosmetic dentistry is not available cheaply (and you should be suspicious if it is!), but we understand that the finance side puts a lot of people off. We are able to help you spread the cost with our various in-house finance plans, starting from 0% interest depending on your circumstances.

It is possibly thanks to celebrities and TV shows, cosmetic dentistry is becoming more and more popular, and Dove Dental offer cosmetic dentistry in Derby on a daily basis. It covers a broad range of dental services including teeth whitening, teeth straightening, mouth guards, smile makeovers, and facial aesthetics.
Let’s take a more in depth look at some of the cosmetic dentistry in Derby that you might want to consider.
- Teeth whitening. Perfect for smokers, drinkers, or people who have trouble keeping a white shade of tooth. A special paste is applied to your teeth and a laser is passed over this paste, leaving the enamel of your teeth lighter and brighter.
- Teeth straightening. Of course, braces are the most traditional way of helping to straighten out wonky or uneven teeth, but as more and more adults look for solutions, retainers and night mouth guards are becoming even more popular.
- Invisalign. Perfect for adults who want subtle cosmetic dentistry to transform their teeth. Invisalign is a set of clear retainers which you wear on a daily basis to gradually improve the straightness of your teeth.
- Veneers.Dental veneers are thin layers of (usually) porcelain which sit on top of the existing tooth. The veneers are a great way of fixing broken or chipped teeth. Once attached, they will blend right in with your natural teeth. Veneers can also be used in extreme cases of tooth discolouring.
