First, going to the dentist might not have happened in 2020 and into 2021 due to the pandemic, but now dentists are saying that due to the higher levels of stress they are treating more and more patients with preventable issues.
When people are stressed they are more likely to turn to unhealthy habits such as more sugar, less sleep and more smoking and drinking. It is vital to remember that there is a connection between oral health and heart health.
Now that the vaccine is available, get into your dentist soon to get a bi-annual checkup and cleaning.
