It feels like just yesterday we were anticipating the hot summer days. Now as we transition into September, the first day of Fall is approaching on September 23rd. This is usually a month of transition as the weather changes, days get shorter, and the routine gets more demanding, especially if you have kids going back to school. Make sure you don't skip out on healthy habits to make up time. Drink plenty of water, brush your teeth for a minimum of two minutes twice a day, and take a moment for yourself to breathe and relax. All things will fall in place. While the immediate effect may not be obvious, stress and oral health are related. Stress contributes to grinding and clenching teeth, canker sores, and even gum disease. So, take care of yourself!
