When the stress of daily life and a busy schedule get you down, your oral health is probably the last thing on your mind. Though it\u2019s a little-known fact, stress actually does play an important role in your oral health. At Hill Avenue Dental<\/a> in Superior, WI<\/a>, Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark, III<\/a> offer an extensive range of general and preventive dentistry<\/a> services, as well as vital information for patients of all ages regarding how our daily stress level affects the health of our teeth and gums.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

How Reducing Stress Can Save Your Smile <\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Everyone experiences some level of stress on a relatively regular basis. Whether it\u2019s the traffic jam that makes you late for that important meeting, worries over your financial situation, or anything in between, this negative force in your life is actually capable of doing much more harm than most of us realize. Excessive stress <\/b>has actually been linked to a number of potentially serious oral health concerns, including the following:<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7         <\/span><\/span>Teeth grinding (bruxism), particularly at night<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7         <\/span><\/span>Canker sores<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7         <\/span><\/span>Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD or TMJ disorder)<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7         <\/span><\/span>Periodontal disease<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7         <\/span><\/span>Xerostomia (chronic dry mouth)<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
While these problems must be treated by a dentist, the stress itself is the problem that should really be addressed. Talk to your doctor about relaxation techniques and methods of reducing stress in your daily life. Your smile won\u2019t be the only part of you that benefits!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
