Depression and Oral Health

Everyone has a bad day here and there, but when you have depression, your down state of mind can be overwhelming and make you unable to do even the most basic tasks. This struggle, unfortunately, affects people worldwide. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 19.4 million adults had at least one major depressive episode this past year in the United States alone. This number represents 7.8 percent of the American adult population.
