Stress and Your Smile
When we think of stress, we often associate it with symptoms like anxiety, tension, racing thoughts, poor sleep and high blood pressure among others. But did you know that your smile can also show signs of stress?
It's no secret that the last year and a half has been stressful for everyone around the globe. As your partner in oral health, we want to help you recognise the impact stress can have on your mouth, while offering solutions to overcome it and beam brightly.
• Stress may increase your risk of developing gum disease. That's because during times of stress, your body produces more cortisol, a hormone. When high levels of cortisol are produced, your body focuses more on survival than anything else. This lowers your ability to fight infections in your mouth, gums and elsewhere.
• Have you noticed that during times of stress, you are more prone to headaches? It may be a result of jaw clenching or teeth grinding, known as bruxism. Bruxism usually occurs when we're sleeping. Grinding our teeth and keeping our jaws tightly clenched can cause morning headaches as well as worn down teeth.
• For some of us, stress makes us reach for comfort foods that we normally wouldn't. Things like ice cream, treats or sweet drinks may make us feel better for a moment, but too many can have a lasting negative impact on oral health. They can lead to dull teeth, cavities and plaque buildup.
If you feel like your smile is showing signs of stress, we're here for you. Contact our team on 95838988 today to learn more about our services and how we can help. We look forward to seeing you in the practice soon.

Can a Cracked Tooth Heal on Its Own?

If you've ever broken a bone, let's say an arm or a leg, chances are you visited a medical professional to have it set in a cast, and it ultimately healed on its own.
So, why can't our teeth heal by themselves? It's a common misconception that teeth are the same as bone. In actuality, the enamel is made of calcium phosphate.
Since our enamel isn't made of blood vessels and living tissue, it cannot regenerate like other bones in our body. That's why if you crack or chip a tooth, you should schedule a visit with us to discuss the best cosmetic or restorative options.

Tips for Easing Child Dental Anxiety
It's easy for adults to understand why regular dental visits are important-but children typically don't see the benefit of having someone poke around their mouth at the start.
At Nepean Dental, it's our goal to create an environment of education and fun for your child, making them an active partner in their oral health so they're proud to take care of their teeth.
If your little one has an upcoming visit with us that they're nervous about, consider these tips:
• Explain to your child what might happen at their visit. Have them then practice flossing or brushing on a stuffed animal to get them comfortable with the exam.
• Bring a stuffed animal or toy from home to comfort them during their visit with us. We'll let them hold it during their visit and play beforehand.
• Stop by our practice beforehand. If they're especially nervous, let them come in and meet the team before their appointment-we can't wait to welcome them into our care.
