Snoring Prevention
Snoring Prevention in Jacksonville, FL
While snoring is a common problem for many people, it can also be a sign of other major health complications. It is estimated that more than 80 million people in North America snore while sleeping, which not only affects the quality of sleep of the person snoring, but also the quality of sleep of their loved ones and other family members. Luckily, there is a way to treat chronic snoring.
What causes snoring?
Snoring can be the result of several factors. Typically, snoring is caused by the relaxing of the muscles and soft tissues in the throat and mouth, making the air passage smaller. The decrease in space through the airway makes it harder for each breath to get through, and when it does get through, it moves over the soft tissues in the mouth and throat and causes a vibration that results in the snoring sound. Other causes of snoring may include:

What is a Mandibular Advancement Device?
If you snore at night, then a mandibular advancement device (MAD) may represent a solution and a better night's sleep! The MAD is a specially designed dental device that gently helps keep the lower jaw, or mandible, in a forward position, increasing the space between the airway passage and helping you breathe better so you can get a full, quiet night's sleep.
Some devices also stop the tongue from falling back over your windpipe. Your dentist will fit these special appliances to meet your individual condition.
Is a MAD comfortable?
The answer is simple — YES! A mandibular advancement device is made to be comfortable, so that you can sleep without even noticing you're wearing it. It does not prevent you from breathing with your mouth open and will even eliminate snoring for patients with sinus congestion or allergies. You may experience some slight stiffness of the jaw for the first few mornings after wearing the device, but this feeling is only temporary, and will go away after you wake up and remove the device.

After four years of searching I finally found a dentist who is so much like the one I left in Lake Placid, Fl. Dr Rios is kind, personable, efficient and his staff reflects that attitude. Yes I'd recommend him to family. friends and someone who is looking for a really good dentist.

Dr Rios and his staff are very professional and friendly. My family has been going to Cypress Point Family dentistry for years now and we always recommend them to friends. They are very good at taking the time to explain any additional procedures and to provide cost estimates based on our insurance.

Love that they are waiting when I arrive and greet me by name. Hygienists are awesome! I love dawn but all the ladies are great! Dr Rios is kind and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!
Marissa K.
Everyone here is always pleasant and efficient in getting me in and out for my appointments. Dawn cleans my teeth with care and is very thorough with my cleanings. Dr. Rios is always quick to get in and look at my teeth after my cleaning is finished so that I can get on with my day without too much downtime. I never feel pressured by their recommendations and never feel like they're trying to sell me products or services I don't really need. Great place with great people, definitely recommend!

I had a super friendly experience attending a cleaning visit here. The Dr. and his assistant used a sound combination of technology and expertise to thoroughly go through my mouth. The pictures were scary, but the advice was priceless. I wish I had visited this office earlier.

Dajana Bencun
I had my first new patient appointment today and I have to say this is such a pleasant office. The staff are so welcoming and professional I felt at home here. The dentist is very knowledgeable and didn’t push anything towards me that I didn’t need which is a huge plus considering there’s some out there that want to push towards unnecessary procedures. I never write reviews but I know there’s people out there like me that want a good dentist and with our current plan in place I have to say that I will bring my family here! He really does have an amazing staff and I want the best for myself and my family and this dentist office is the best. I’m looking forward to my appointments. oh don’t forget the do sell professional teeth bleach syringes for $10 each. It’s 🤩 amazing

Absolutely incredible!! Dr Rios and his assistants are truly wonderful people and are there for your benefit. My dental assistant was super light handed and was very reassuring. As someone who is normally scared of doctors offices, the team here created a warm and welcoming environment. Could not recommend them more!

Ciearra Harris
Dr.Rios is the only dentist that I feel totally comfortable going to. The staff are incredibly friendly and are always happy to see you! I struggle a great deal with anxiety going to the dentist and Dr.Rios and his staff has made me feel comfortable and relaxed enough to get caught up on YEARS worth of dental work. If I could rate out of 100 stars, they'd get a 1000/100.
Brenda Campos
