The teeth also suffer from lack of sleep!

Lack of sleep? The gums suffer too! Sleep deprivation not only affects concentration and the immune system - it also affects the gums. Studies show that those who consistently sleep too little (less than 6 hours per night) have a significantly higher risk of gum inflammation and even periodontitis. Why? Lack of sleep weakens the immune system - bacteria in the mouth can spread more easily. Inflammation levels in the body rise - making the gums more vulnerable. Also, stress from lack of sleep exacerbates the negative impact on oral health. The tip: In addition to thorough dental care, adequate sleep (7-9 hours) is a real secret weapon for healthy teeth and gums!
