SNORING Originates from Mouth -
Snoring can occur due to many reasons. Essentially it occurs due to the relaxation of the tongue, soft tissues and throat. Air, as a result, has difficulty passing and the partially obstructed airway and causes the relaxed throat tissue to vibrate. This produces snoring. The more narrow the passageway, the louder the snore. Snoring can occur occasionally or be a nightly problem.
Causes
The Mayo clinic lists numerous causes for snoring. The first has to do with the anatomy of the mouth. A thick soft palate or enlarge tonsils and throat tissues can produce snoring. Also the hanging piece of tissue in the back of the throat, called the uvula, if elongated, can obstruct air from passing. Another cause is alcohol consumption. Alcohol relaxes the tissues in the mouth, producing again a decreased airway. Finally nasal deformities or a deviated septum can reduce the normal flow of air through the nose, which in turn causes mouth breathing and snoring.-
