How Oral Health affects overall health?

Understand the connection between mouth and body

Oral health and overall health are connected, so problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. Because of this, you must pay attention to any oral problems that can cause other consequences. Your mouth is the entry point of your body, and bacteria that lives in your mouth can also affect your digestive and respiratory systems.

Make sure to pay attention to your oral health because the health of your mouth, teeth, and gums can affect the overall health of the rest of your body.

Nighttime can cause problems, too

Nighttime teeth grinding, also called bruxism, is a problem that affects many people. The good news is that there are steps you can take to reduce it.

First, it’s important to understand the causes. Stress, anxiety, sleeping problems like snoring, and even some medications can cause nighttime teeth grinding.

Some of the ways you can reduce bruxism include:
• Finding ways to relax and reduce stress before bed time;

• Exercise;

• Having regular dental check-ups.

Creating and following a nighttime oral health routine is essential to treating bruxism.

📢 If you are noticing signs of nighttime teeth grinding, seeing your dentist is a good place to start.
