Holiday Stress: The Dental Connection

With the the Christmas Holiday only a few more days away, many people feel a rise in the level of their stress.  Although excess stress can contribute to headaches, stomach aches, or even the feeling of being "on edge," many people don't know that too much stress can also have a very negative impact on your dental health as well!

With so many changes occurring in our country over these past few years, there has been an increase in the opportunity to feel more stress and anxiety.  Our entire team cares about your dental health and wanted you to be aware of the many possible dental side effects related to stress.  They include:

  • Mouth Sores
  • Clenching
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Unhealthy eating routines
  • Gum disease

If you have any questions or are in need of an appointment, call our office at 918-455-0123. Don't fall prey to the stresses that can be associated with the holidays, but remember to focus in on the true meaning and spirit of the Christmas season!

God Bless,
