Pain: Pain in the oral cavity and throat can have a variety of causes, including infections, inflammation, injuries or tumors. A precise diagnosis is crucial in order to determine the cause and start suitable treatment.
Taste disorder: An impaired sense of taste can be caused by various factors such as infections, medication, vitamin deficiency or neurological diseases.
Snoring: Snoring can be caused by a narrowing of the airways. The examination includes a physical examination and a detailed medical history to determine the severity and cause of the snoring.
Sleep apnoea: Sleep apnoea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing stops repeatedly during sleep. This can lead to daytime sleepiness, concentration problems and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
