The Interconnection of Dental and Gut Health
Dental health has a profound impact on gut health, with approximately 50% of your gut microbiome originating from the mouth. Every day, individuals swallow a staggering 140 billion microbes, highlighting the mouth's crucial role in overall health. If issues such as dysbiosis exist in the mouth, they can propagate downstream to the gut, causing various health issues like small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). This interplay suggests that maintaining oral hygiene is essential not just for dental well-being but for gut health and overall physical health as well.
