Many things might have a negative influence on your oral health, ranging from bad eating habits to insufficient brushing and poor dental cleanliness. Your mental wellness has a huge impact on your oral health. People who suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns may be more prone to developing dental problems for a variety of reasons.
People who suffer from dental anxiety may avoid going to the dentist or having dental operations. According to experts, it might be the result of a larger mental health issue, such as general anxiety disorder, or a history of poor encounters at a dental clinic.
People who are depressed or nervous may make poor eating choices or fail to pay attention to nutrition, causing their oral health to deteriorate.
“Mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression can lead to several problems which may lead to consumption of sugary foods or beverages that can cause tooth decay and cavities. Depressed people have poor nutrition, which can affect the surface enamel of the teeth,” says Dr Karishma Jaradi, Head Dental Surgeon- Dentzz Dental.
It is also common for a person with depression to lose interest in daily activities which includes brushing or taking shower.
