Abstract

Mental disorders are no longer considered as a change in mental state with a biochemical abnormal process in brain; It is also considered as a serious risk factor for the development of other somatic disorders or diseases. It is well known that conditions of mouth and teeth provides an important information on the general level of the patient's health. It can detect problems such as stress levels, anxiety, pathological mood swings and chronic eating disorders.

Research has shown that social anxiety, even short episodes of anxiety, can be a precursor to bruxism. Bruxism wears away tooth enamel, and if not treated in time, can lead to headaches, tooth fractures, and pain in jaw muscles and joints. Based on research, it was also established that patients with mental disorders pay less attention to oral hygiene, which, in turn, causes various complications and diseases in the oral cavity.

The publication presented by us discusses the interaction of the psyche and the oral cavity; how they affect each other and what we need to know in order to avoid complications. The article discusses the latest research conducted around the world on this topic. Conclusions and recommendations are also given based on the review.
