Yes, perhaps it’s easier said than done. However, your Moreno Valley dentist wants you to stop stressing. Of course, this is in part because we like to see our patients happy, relaxed, and smiling. However, it’s also because we see many patients whose oral health would be much better if they were not dealing with such high stress levels. While you might not be able to change everything that leads to daily stress, you can certainly find ways (and reasons) to manage it! Learn more.

Stress Is Manageable

You might not feel like you can do anything about the stress you experience every day, particularly if it’s related to aspects of your life that are very difficult to change. Sure, you could quit your job but that doesn’t mean it would be easy to find a new one (or one that doesn’t cause an equal level of stress). Instead, your Moreno Valley dentist encourages you to safeguard your oral health and all of your body’s other systems by finding ways to handle and minimize the way stressors affect you. Consider the following:

  • Take up a relaxing hobby
  • Take time away for yourself each day to just breathe
  • Seek out meditative options, such as meditation, yoga, art therapy
  • Talk with a licensed counselor

Don’t Leave Us Out

You may think that a dentist isn’t going to offer much help when it comes to your stress levels. However, your Moreno Valley dentist can assure you that we are here to help in our own way. When you stress, you often transfer the stress onto your teeth (and your jaws). Come in for a checkup, so we can look for possible issues (or prevent them before they occur), such as fractures, erosion, bruxism disorder, or TMJ disorder.
