Stress and Your Smile

When we think of stress, we often think of symptoms like worry, tension, racing thoughts, not getting enough sleep, and high blood pressure. But did you know that your smile can also show that you are stressed?

No one can deny that the last year and a half has been hard for everyone on Earth. As your partner in oral health, we want to help you understand how worry can affect your mouth and give you ways to deal with it so you can smile brightly.

  • Stress may make you more likely to get gum disease. This is because when you are stressed, your body makes more of a hormone called cortisol. When your body makes a lot of cortisol, it focuses more on staying alive than anything else. This makes it harder for you to fight off infections in your mouth, gums, or other places.
  • Have you noticed that when you’re stressed, you get headaches more often? It might be a result of bruxism, which is when you clench your jaw or grind your teeth. Most of the time, we grind our teeth while we sleep. When we grind our teeth and keep our lips tight, we can get headaches in the morning and wear down our teeth.
  • Some of us reach for comfort foods we wouldn’t normally eat when we’re stressed. Things like ice cream, treats, and sweet drinks can make us feel better in the short term, but too much of them can hurt our oral health in the long run. They can cause your teeth to look dull, have gaps, and build up plaque.
