As fall approaches, stress levels often rise with the demands of back-to-school, holiday planning, and the year’s end. For many, this stress leads to or worsens TMJ disorder and teeth grinding, two conditions that can cause lasting damage if left untreated. 

At Anacapa Dental Art Institute, we’re committed to helping you achieve relief. 

How TMJ Disorder Affects You

TMJ disorder targets the jaw joint, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and challenges with chewing. You may experience headaches, facial tenderness, or even earaches. 

These symptoms often worsen with stress, making it difficult to enjoy seasonal activities or concentrate on daily tasks. If left untreated, TMJ disorder can lead to ongoing pain and lasting damage to both your teeth and jaw. 

Teeth Grinding’s Hidden Dangers 

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is another condition that worsens under stress. It can wear down your teeth, causing fractures, sensitivity, and enamel loss. 

Bruxism can also lead to jaw discomfort, headaches, and poor sleep, significantly impacting your overall quality of life.
