Stress Has Far Reaching Effects on Oral Health
People suffering from stress are prone to poor eating habits that will increase the risk of tooth decay and other adverse health outcomes.
Key takeaways:
- Foul mood caused by stress may cause people to skip routine oral healthcare tasks such as brushing and flossing. Stress also causes poor eating habits that lead to poor oral health.
- Stress causes cold sores and mouth ulcers since it leads to compromised immunity.
- Teeth grinding is linked with stress and causes damage to teeth.
Stress can lead to depression, and depressed patients, according to research, have twice the risk of an unfavorable outcome from gum disease treatment compared to those who are not depressed.
