TMJ Snoring
Understand the Connection Between TMJ & Snoring
Snoring is a common condition where the airway becomes partially obstructed during sleep, causing the tissues in the throat to vibrate as air passes through. This results in the characteristic sound of snoring. There are many reasons why you might snore, including nasal congestion, obesity, alcohol consumption, or even the position in which you sleep!
In some cases, snoring is a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a more serious condition where the airway becomes completely blocked, leading to repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. This can cause fragmented sleep, lower oxygen levels, and put significant strain on the heart.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snoring and TMJ in New England
Can TMJ cause snoring?
Yes, TMJ disorders can contribute to or worsen snoring. When the jaw is misaligned or under tension due to TMJ dysfunction, it can affect the position of the tongue and reduce airway space during sleep. If you’ve been wondering, “can TMJ cause snoring?”, the answer is often yes—especially if your snoring is accompanied by jaw pain, teeth grinding, or headaches.

Beautiful experience. My third child, was my first with ties. Dr. Kaplan took his time showing me images of my sons ties and explaining them to me so I understood them more. He also made the atmosphere very comfortable! We had all 3 ties released (tongue, lip, and cheek) done in about 10 minutes. Dr. Kaplan checked in with me about 5 minutes after the procedure and explained everything to me about follow up appointments with lactation and chiro and how to massage my babies mouth post-op. Highly recommend for infant tie issues!

Dr. David is by far one of the most compassionate dentists I have ever met. Dr. David and her team have a thirst for knowledge and are constantly furthering their education. I would highly recommend the TMJ & Sleep Centre of New England if you have any TMJ/Sleep needs.

I have only been for initial exam and consultation, so this review is for that. I love the office. They have great technology and a nice ambiance if you can believe it. Pretty rare to find a dentist with nice views but I had beautiful trees to look at outside the window while I sat in the chair. The tech and dentist were so caring and really listened to me and took their time to make me feel at ease. I have had some less than savory and even traumatic experiences at other dentists , I can say that I feel very comfortable and trusting with Dr David. I think she is a brilliant doctor who really cares about people and looks at the whole picture , not just your teeth. I’m happy I found her and ready to start my treatment plan. This is by far not the cheapest dentist but I only have one set of teeth, so trusting myself to the best.
