The Connection Between Stress and Oral Health

It comes as no surprise that the stress and uncertainty brought about by the pandemic have had a significant impact on our mental and physical health. One common manifestation of this stress is bruxism, a condition characterized by teeth grinding and clenching, often during sleep. Over time, this can lead to not only worn-down enamel but also cracked or broken teeth, jaw pain, and even more serious disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
