Stress and Your Teeth

Have you been grinding your teeth during sleep? Perhaps you do not realize it but your partner or friends who have mentioned it to you. Ever wondered why? While there are many reasons for grinding your teeth during sleep one of the more common reason is Stress!

As a Dentist when I comment to my patients that they could be stressed they are often surprised and ask me “ Don’t tell me you can see I am stressed from my teeth?” Of course as a Dentist I can see the signs. There are many signs and symptoms of Stress manifesting in your mouth. While the list is a long you are best advised to visit the dentist near you to check out these signs and symptoms that your Dentist will be able to pick up or perhaps even show you to realize the damaging effects of Stress on your Teeth and Gums.
