BETTER SLEEP & NIGHT-TIME ORAL HEALTH

common sleep issues

~40% of UK adults

experience snoring at some point during sleep

Snoring is a common sleep-related breathing issue and often linked to airway narrowing during sleep.

Up to 70% reduction

in saliva production during sleep

Saliva flow naturally decreases at night, increasing the risk of dry mouth and oral discomfort.

~17% of UK adults

experience dry mouth (xerostomia)

Dry mouth becomes more common with age, medication use, and night-time mouth breathing.

~8-10% of adults

are affected by sleep bruxism (teeth grinding)

Bruxism occurs subconsciously during sleep and can place excessive strain on teeth and jaw muscles.

Teeth Grinding & Jaw Tension (Bruxism)

Typical signs:

Jaw soreness
Headaches
Tooth wear
Clenching during stress

What’s happening:
During sleep, jaw muscles can generate extreme forces, overloading teeth and joints and disrupting deep sleep stages.

Type of support:
A slim, properly fitted night guard helps absorb and distribute pressure, reducing strain on teeth and jaw muscles.

Disclaimer: persistent or severe symptoms should always be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Snoring & Mild Sleep Apnoea

Typical signs:

Loud or regular snoring
Breathing pauses reported by a partner
Restless or fragmented sleep

What’s happening:
Snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnoea often occur when the lower jaw relaxes backward, narrowing the upper airway and restricting airflow.

Type of support:
A mandibular advancement device (MAD) gently positions the lower jaw forward to help maintain a clearer airway.

Disclaimer: persistent or severe symptoms should always be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Dry Mouth, Mouth Breathing & Night-Time Discomfort

Typical signs:

Dry tongue or throat on waking
Waking up during the night to have a sip of water
Sticky saliva
Bad breath in the morning

What’s happening:
Saliva production drops naturally during sleep and can fall further with mouth breathing, snoring or sleep apnoea. Low saliva reduces comfort and increases irritation.

Type of support:
Moisturising oral care products help support oral tissues overnight when saliva is reduced.

Disclaimer: persistent or severe symptoms should always be discussed with a healthcare professional.
