STRESS

Stress causes lifestyle changes like smoking, increased alcohol intake, depression and lack of oral hygiene 

How can we protect out teeth from the effects of stress?

Your dentist can make a night guard to protect your teeth from negative effects of grinding. 

Brush twice a day, floss every day and come in for regular checkups. 

High Stress

Stress contributes to teeth grinding which can crack our teeth. This can result in tooth loss, TMJ pain, dry mouth, canker sores and even periodontal disease. 

Ask your dentist how this can all be prevented.
