Episode notes
Mouth As Gateway To Whole-Body Health
- The mouth is the start of the gut and an access point for systemic infection.
- Bacteria from oral biofilms can penetrate the bloodstream and travel to the brain, heart, joints, and more.
Brush Twice, Two Minutes, Right Technique
- Brush twice daily for two minutes with correct angle, pressure, and motion to reach the gum line.
- Focus on disrupting biofilm at the gum line to prevent plaque that accumulates over 12–15 hours.
Floss Before You Brush
- Floss before you brush to dislodge debris between teeth so brushing can remove and rinse it away.
- Prioritize simply doing flossing at all if you're skipping it entirely.
