Did you know your mental health can have a direct impact on your gums?
High stress levels raise cortisol, a hormone that can trigger inflammation in the gums and make them more sensitive. 🦷😬 This can also increase habits like teeth grinding, known as bruxism, which may lead to jaw pain and worn-down teeth.
When stress is unmanaged, your oral health often feels the effects too. Prioritizing relaxation and regular dental care helps protect both your smile and your well-being. 😊
