Depression or anxiety can strike at any stage of life for any reason. Loneliness, emotional pain, sadness gradually turns into depression. Depression can lead to death if not treated on time.
You will be surprised to know that depression and anxiety can affect dental health! Why does this happen?
# Many people don't want to cook unless they feel good. And then you have to rely on restaurant food. In that case, eating food with oil, salt and spices bought from the store can improve the health of the mouth.
# Many people start eating more sweets when they are anxious. Because of this, tooth decay and cavity problems can also occur. Moreover, many people may experience 'burning mouth syndrome' if they suffer from fatigue. In this case, the gums of the teeth swell, causing irritation in the mouth. Even taste in the tongue can be lost in many cases.
# does not want to do any work due to boredom. People with pre-existing dental problems often forget to get regular dental check-ups due to depression. Even if they remember, they don't want to go to the doctor easily. This can make the problem worse.
