Teeth Ruined By Anxiety

[TheGoodGuy]

I have always had overbite but other than that my teeth were straight and unharmed so after years of nervously chewing (not grinding) my teeth especially when feeling socially anxious they look so fucked up. Looking back at pictures from my teenage years my teeth looked fine despite the overbite now my bottom teeth are crooket and the middle of my front teeth is filled down some too

I also used to have these sharp vampire looking teeth but they are filled down too due to nervously chewing my teeth especially in public when feeling social anxiety.

I have anxiety, but my service dog has helped me a bunch to calm myself down.

it's very true man, not just teeth but also gums

in addition to wearing down your teeth from clenching and so on, your gums will also get more inflamed from stress, which makes them recede and allow calculus to form more easily, i used to have calculus buildup despite brushing and flossing that was hilariously abnormal, i didn't even smoke.

eventually only an obsessive tooth care routine could hold it at bay where I sit around scraping every bit of plaque and oil pull with coconut oil every night, shit takes like 45 minutes. this is what it takes if you have poor genetics and extreme stress.

Well at least I don´t have that problem only the teeth chewing.
