Today, let's talk about the hidden impact of stress on your oral health. Stress can have far-reaching effects on our bodies, and we often underestimate its impact on oral health. From night-time teeth grinding to gum disease, the effects of stress on our teeth are many and varied. In this article, you will learn how stress affects your oral health and how ultrasonic toothbrushes from emmi-dent can help you overcome these challenges.

 

Stress-related oral health problems

Stress can lead to various problems in the mouth:

1. Bruxism (teeth grinding): Under stress, many people tend to grind their teeth unconsciously, which can lead to wear and tear, toothache and even tooth loss.

2. Gum disease: Stress schwächt das Immunsystem, was das Risiko für Zahnfleischentzündungen und Parodontitis erhöht.

3. Dry mouth (Xerostomia): Stress can impair saliva production, which increases the risk of tooth decay and infections.

4. Occurrence of oral ulcers: Emotional stress can promote the development of painful lesions in the mouth.
