3. Increased chances of gum disease

“Stress from burnout can affect your immune system which fights against the bacteria that causes periodontal disease, making a person more susceptible to oral infection, inflamed and bleeding gums, and eventually gum disease. Studies have shown that those with greater risk of developing gum disease, otherwise known as periodontal disease, are people with highly emotional issues, social issues, and those suffering with financial or work troubles. So, if your job or social life is causing you to experience burnout and develop severe stress, then statistically you are more likely to develop long-term issues with your gums.”
