You have probably heard the positives for yoga and your overall
health, but here is another important way that yoga can improve your dental
health. Our body parts are interconnected and what problems we incur in one
part of the body can impact another part. For example, when we hold stress in
our upper bodies, neck or shoulders it can cause stress and tightness in the
jaw which can lead to grinding your teeth.
Grinding your teeth has numerous negative consequences on the
overall health of your smile including cracking, breaking or damaging your
teeth as well as a potential for jaw pain that negatively impacts your ability
to consume the foods you love.
But yoga can help all of that. Breathing deeply, while being on
your mat can decrease your stress and help you to better handle life’s
pressures. Studies also show people who
are stressed out are less likely to take care of their smile. They may worry
more about day to day issues, and spend less time really taking care of their
health. Doing yoga just a few times a week can improve your overall outlook on
life and help keep your smile healthy for a lifetime.
