Stress & Your Teeth

Welcome to 2021. This has probably been the most stressful time in any of our lives and we are seeing it in the dental world more than ever. The amount of broken teeth, jaw problems and tooth pain caused by stress is breaking records. If you’ve experienced these symptoms it’s a great time to come in and see Dr. Roa at Mint Dental. Self care as it relates to teeth is crucial for both men and women right now.

Over the counter night guards are a great option and we are prescribing those for many people. It’s a great time to start getting used to wearing an appliance in your mouth. They’re inexpensive, you can mold them and it helps those muscles relax and prevents your teeth from breaking!

Dr. Roa can make you a custom fitted night guard if you’re having jaw problems or you’re worried about the damage done to your teeth from clenching or grinding. Schedule your visit today to discuss.
