With job cuts galore and people losing money like there’s no tomorrow, the recession is definitely taking its toll on the country. But it seems that the recession and the worries it causes are affecting a new area- peoples teeth.
Growing numbers of people are grinding their teeth which many dentists are blaming on job insecurity linked to the recession. Eating problems, splitting headaches, and severe oral pain are all symptoms of teeth grinding and more and more patients need dental treatment to correct this painful problem.
Many dentists have seen an increase in the amount of people needing treatment because a piece of their tooth has fallen of, or a molar or incisor has become cracked and is irreparable, all a result of grinding teeth. Some people who are badly affected by the grinding action on their teeth will experience a pain in their whole jaw, causing them to take painkillers on a regular basis to alleviate their discomfort. If the grinding has been a problem for a long time, teeth may be ground down so far that they don’t fit well together anymore causing a lot of pain and an aching feeling.
