How stress impacts oral health* › Jaw joint issues – Can cause pain around the ear
or face.
› Bruxism – Teeth grinding can cause damage, especially when concentrating or at night.
› Poor oral hygiene – A lack of brushing and flossing can lead to tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease.
› Cold sores – Commonly triggered by dental treatment, stress and exposure to sunlight.
› Stress-induced oral infections or sores – May show up as ulcers, white lines, or white or red spots.
› Decreased immune response – Can contribute to the development of periodontal (gum) disease.
How to reduce painful symptoms
› If you grind your teeth, talk with your dentist about getting a custom-fitted night guard.** It can prevent tooth damage from grinding and act as a cushion for your jaw and joint tissues.
› Avoid hard or crunchy foods when you’re in pain. › Avoid tobacco and alcohol, which can make your
oral symptoms worse.
› Try gentle massage, physical therapy or non-opioid pain relief medications.
› Talk with your doctor or dentist about anti- inflammatory drugs for inflammation and antiviral drugs to prevent cold sores.
› To help reduce cold sores, stay out of the sun or use at least an SPF 30 sunscreen.
