The Link Between Chronic Stress & Your Oral Health

Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes chronic, it can affect much more than your mood. Long-term stress can influence your sleep, energy levels, immune system, and even your oral health. In fact, if you’ve been dealing with ongoing stress, your teeth and gums could be feeling the effects, too.

Understanding the connection between stress and your smile can help you recognize potential problems early and take steps to protect your oral health.
