How Stress Can Affect Your Oral Health

 

Stress is a fact of life that everyone must deal with, and it can affect your oral health if you do not manage it. As this video explains, bruxism is a common problem that arises when stress becomes an issue. Over time, bruxism or tooth grinding can lead to serious complications like tooth decay from worn enamel, headaches, and pain in the jaw. Controlling stress with healthy habits will reduce the urge to grind teeth and help you maintain better oral health.

If tooth grinding is a problem for you, Dr. John Carson, DDS can help you take control of this issue. Schedule an appointment at our high-tech Tucson practice by calling (520) 514-7203 or visiting our website.
