Stress and Oral Hygiene
The Oral Health Connection
Stress can impact dental health by increasing the risk of gum disease, teeth grinding (bruxism), and mouth ulcers. In the U.S., stress-related oral health issues are observed among individuals during stressful periods.
To maintain oral hygiene, practice stress management techniques such as regular brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist for check-ups. Addressing stress supports healthy teeth and gums.
