ECONOMIC HARDSHIP TAKES TOLL ON TEETH

It is true that people postpone or forgo dental treatment in difficult economic times? According to one recent study of dental practitioners. the answer is "yes."

More than 90% of dentists surveyed said their patients are putting off needed dental work,  due to the uncertainty of the employee work market.

The survey revealed that nearly 75% of dentists surveyed said  their patients had reported increased stress in their lives, and the majority of dentists are seeing an increase in jaw clenching, and tooth grinding, and tooth breakage, which
are all causing to have a negative effect on the teeth.
