REDUCING STRESS CAN IMPROVE ORAL HEALTH

Stress is one of the primary causes of bruxism (teeth grinding) and bruxism is one of the primary causes of TMJ – a painful condition resulting from jaw misalignment. If you find that you are frequently stressed and have begun to notice pain or odd noises in and around the jaw, it may be time to contact Barrie dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick to schedule a physiologic dentistry evaluation and learn how to restore comfort and alignment to your jaw.

To schedule your TMJ evaluation at our Barrie, Ontario office, please call (647) 504-4407 today.

Effects of Stress on the Teeth

Stress can cause a number of oral health issues including TMJ, uneven tooth wear, and tooth loss. While treatments geared towards addressing TMJ may help prevent some of these impacts, stress reduction may also be necessary to fully protect your teeth and gums.

During your neuromuscular evaluation with Dr. Chapnick, we can discuss methods of stress reductions that can benefit both your oral and systemic health. Please contact us today to schedule your consultation and learn more about your options.
