Why You Can’t Brush Your Teeth When You’re Depressed (But Here’s What Helps)

There is a strong connection between mental health and dental health. Stress, anxiety, or depression can make it challenging to maintain oral hygiene, which in turn can lead to dental issues that worsen mental health. It’s a two-way relationship!

Taking care of your mind and your smile goes hand in hand because self-care is essential for your whole body. 🦷 MY FREE ORAL CARE GUIDE: https://bit.ly/free-oral-hygiene-rout... 🦷 BETTERMOUTH: https://bettermouth.com 🦷 RELATED VIDEOS:    • 4 Tips To Relieve Dental Anxiety | Feeling...      • How To Overcome Dental Anxiety (Dentist Fe...      • Are Your Medications DESTROYING Your Mouth?   🦷 WANT MORE TEETH TALK? ▶ NEWSLETTER: https://bit.ly/ttg-subscribe ▶ WEBSITE: https://teethtalkgirl.com ▶ SHOP: https://givehappyteeth.com/ ▶ STOREFRONT: https://www.amazon.com/shop/teethtalk 🦷 SUPPORT THIS CONTENT: ▶ PATREON:   / teethtalkgirl   ▶ YOUTUBE:    / @teethtalk   🦷 SOURCES: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti.... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti.... 🦷 BACKGROUND MUSIC: artlist.io 🦷 NOTE: This video does not provide medical advice and is intended for informational purposes only.
