clenching, grinding, jaw muscle tension, dry mouth, headaches, mouth ulcers, gum inflammation, snacking, acidic drink use and skipped hygiene routines. Stress does not directly create every dental problem, but it can change habits and body responses in ways that increase risk. If stress is linked to jaw pain, broken fillings or gum symptoms, dental assessment is useful.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section>\n        <h2>Why stress shows in the mouth<\/h2>\n        <p>The mouth and jaw are sensitive to muscle tension, sleep disturbance, saliva changes and daily habits.
