What Happens If You Avoid the Dentist? Brushing and flossing help keep plaque under control. Plaque is created by food particles that join with bacteria to form a substance that adheres and develops in between your teeth. Plaque can also break down tooth enamel and cause decay. #dentalcare #dentalhealth #denstistrywork #drjohnlickingdds

Stress can also have physiological effects on the body. Spikes in the stress hormone cortisol weaken the immune system, which makes it easier for bacteria to invade the gums and cause inflammation. Certain antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can cause dry mouth, which means that saliva isn’t available to clear away food debris after eating.
