Stress can put Stress on your Teeth.
Many dentists routinely see the signs of Stress and its effects on the teeth. Stress can cause orofacial pain, cold sores, and temporomandibular disorders (TMD/TMJ). People who are stressed can tend to take it out on their teeth by clenching or grinding. The clenching or grinding of teeth can cause damage to the teeth. Talk to your dentist if you are stressed so they know the higher risk factors.
