Feeling Stressed, Your Dentist Can Tell.
According to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) your dentist can tell something’s wrong by just looking in your mouth. In a 2005 study found that emotional factors played a significant role in the development of adult gum disease. Researchers discovered that the severity of gum disease increased with the number of negative life events experienced in a patient’s previous 12-month period. A life event was defined as a negative incident that caused a change in the individual’s usual activities.
