Who is not stressed out these days? Everyone!!! be it stress at work, home, school or even vacation stress- everyone is ready to tear out their hair at the drop of a hat. But keeping your hair aside- your poor teeth are bearing the brunt of this stress. At Summit Dental, we are constantly seeing people with symptoms of stress related tooth wear. A couple of years ago- we saw 1 out of 10 people with stress related tooth pain; but now it is a different story.

Common symptoms include- joint pain, joint and jaw soreness, pain near the ear, constant headaches, headache on waking up and so on. When the ENT doctor does not seem to find anything amiss when you complain of pain on the side of your face- time to visit the dentist! Other than your very obvious symptoms, we look at certain signs- wearing of teeth, unexplained tooth sensitivity, attrition, erosion, tooth cracks and in some extreme cases- tooth fracture.

Do not increase your stress thinking about the treatment- our specialists will be able to correctly diagnose the problem and offer the right treatment ranging from- bite check, occlusal calibration, jaw exercises and a nightguard prosthesis. So the next time you find yourself clenching your teeth in traffic, grinding your teeth while working ,bruxing during bedtime or have constant jaw and joint issues- call 99869 47722 / 080 2334 0207 or email us at summitdentalclinic@gmail.com
