Most people have been warned about the physical effects of stress. Our doctors remind us to protect ourselves from the dangers of unmanaged stress by eating healthy, exercising regularly, and getting adequate sleep.
Aspen Ridge Dental knows that we shouldn’t try to relieve stress with overeating, extreme alcohol consumption, smoking, or compulsive spending. (Even though many of us are guilty!)
Stress that is not properly managed can affect the heart, nervous system, immune system, and digestive system. It can also affect—you guessed it—your teeth.
The obvious oral health perils are teeth grinding, jaw clenching, smoking, and the overconsumption of sugary foods. But did you know that stress can also increase plaque creation, trigger canker sores and increase the risk of gum disease? Another problem is that when individuals are under excessive stress, they often neglect basic oral hygiene.
If you’re concerned about the effects stress can have on your teeth, request an appointment with Stuart Youmans at Aspen Ridge Dental today. We offer a broad scope of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental services including cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, orthodontics, and sedation dentistry.
It’s ironic, but for some Casper residents, dental visits cause major anxiety. What if the thought of visiting a dentist sends your blood pressure through the roof? Talk to us about sedation dentistry.
Relax. We can help you get the dental treatment you need.
