The Importance of Oral Health for Overall Well-being
Oral health plays a critical role in overall wellbeing, as the mouth contains a diverse microbiome that significantly impacts the body. With approximately 700 different species in the mouth, the health of the oral microbiome can directly influence gut health since half of the gut microbiome is derived from the mouth. If oral health is compromised, this dysbiosis can lead to broader health issues, emphasizing the need for maintaining optimal oral health as a pathway to overall health. This perspective challenges conventional dentistry's focus on merely repairing teeth, advocating for a more holistic approach that links oral care to total body wellness.
