Tiki and Ronde Barber for Dentek
Ah, football season. It’s a beautiful time when the leaves change, the weather gets perfectly crisp, and you get to spend your entire weekend cheering your favorite team to victory. Or you spend your weekends banging your head against the wall, questioning your loyalties to a losing team. Sounds like a stressful existence, but how stressful can watching football actually be? DenTek, America’s #1 over-the-counter dental guard brand for nighttime teeth grinding, decided to look into it with the inaugural Football Stress Test.

What better way for DenTek to illustrate the stress of the game of inches than with two brothers who lived it firsthand? That’s why they teamed up with Tiki and Ronde Barber to weigh in on the playing experience and the results of the test:
“Football has always been emotional, but today’s fans never really disconnect from the game. Between fantasy football, injury updates, social media, and nonstop news, football has become part of everyday life for many fans. When the stress of the game follows you beyond the final whistle and into the night, it’s worth paying attention — especially if it’s affecting your sleep.” – Ronde Barber
“Whether it’s your favorite team losing, your fantasy lineup falling apart, or a last-second upset, football has a way of sticking with you. The DenTek Football Stress Test puts real numbers behind what so many fans already experience. If it gets people thinking about how the stress of the game can follow them into the night, that’s a conversation worth having.” – Tiki Barber
