How to Protect Your Smile from Stress
By Regency Dental Group
Stress might be unavoidable, but its impact on your dental health doesn’t have to be.
If you’re waking up with jaw pain or noticing worn teeth, you could be grinding or clenching in your sleep — a condition known as bruxism. A custom nightguard from your dentist can help prevent damage and ease discomfort.
Don’t forget the basics, too: regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are even more important when your body is under stress. Add in some stress-reducing habits like exercise, deep breathing, or better sleep, and you’re doing your mouth a big favor.
Your smile deserves care — even during stressful times.
