DENTAL TOPICS by Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M. Carpenter ORAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH Oral health has often been linked to overall health. Recent studies have focused on the connection between individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and stress and their loss of motivation to maintain good oral health habits, resulting in significant oral health concerns. The stress of mental health conditions creates cortisol, a hormone in the body that weakens the immune system, leading to gingivitis and periodontitis. Medications for mental health issues can also cause dry mouth, which can reduce the body's defense mechanisms and make an individual susceptible to cavities and gingival inflammation. Because the oral cavity is the body's most accessible environment for bacteria, dental professionals have long been aware of how mental health can affect oral health. Everyone can benefit from preventive dental care. Experience proves it is to your advantage to take time for your oral health no matter how busy your personal or professional schedule. A few minutes spent each day on your teeth can not only help preserve good dental health, but it can also help safeguard your overall health.
