Stress can affect your oral health and might lead to certain conditions that put your teeth and gums at risk. Reducing stress levels and working closely with your dentist in Denver can help you avoid these issues and maintain a healthy smile.

When you are feeling high amounts of stress, you might grind your teeth, which can lead to headaches, soreness in the jaw, or even chipped, fractured, or broken teeth. Researchers have also found a link between increased stress and periodontal disease.

Your dentist can provide you with a custom mouth guard to reduce pressure on your teeth. You can also try physical therapy or exercise to reduce stress levels even more. Check out this video for more information about stress and your oral health.
