Oral Health
Mouth Microbiome:
The average human mouth is thought to contain between 300 and 700 distinct microbial species. The gut microbiome, which is frequently referred to as "the microbiome," is the largest microbial population in humans, according to a study that was published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. The oral microbiome is the second largest.
Everywhere in nature, there are microbiomes (communities of small organisms), and they are crucial to determining human health and maintaining different ecosystems.
The genomes of hundreds of bacterial species that are present in human mouths are categorized in the Human Oral Microbiome Database. Some bacteria in the mouth support overall health, such as those that aid in digestion, and others can cause issues including gum disease, infections, and even cancer.
The oral microbiome's beneficial inhabitants play several roles, including:
1.Executing digestive and metabolic processes that maintain a proper metabolism; for instance, certain bacteria take part in the metabolism of nitrate, which supports a healthy blood pressure
2. Facilitating the process of using saliva to break down meals and convert food's nutrients into energy
3. Circulating the mouth with ionic minerals that are carried by saliva
4. Supporting tooth remineralization
5. Delivering oxygen to the soft tissues and gums
6. Shielding us from hazardous environmental germs while preventing diseases
7. Preventing inflammation and oxidative stress
8. Removing trash from the mouth's outside
"The Mouth is more than just a beautiful smile; it is the gateway to your body and your health"
Before gut dysbiosis, oral dysbiosis most likely occurs first. Your body has crucial functions that microbes carry out. To defend themselves, oral bacteria form plaque (also known as biofilms) on the gums. When it's beneficial bacteria and not pathogenic, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. These beneficial bacteria also spread minerals throughout your mouth. Plaque is created by them using calcium, which they then spread via your teeth.
Mineral deficiency, particularly calcium deficiency, is linked to tooth decay. When there is an imbalance of bacteria in the mouth due to excessive sugar consumption, the bacteria migrate to the teeth to obtain the calcium they want. It is this that leads to degradation.
The following symptoms and conditions may be indicative of an unhealthy or unbalanced oral microbiome:
1. Increased, thick, sticky, odorous, and off-white plaque on teeth
2. Poor breath
3. Gum recession and bleeding gums
4. Delicate teeth
5. Oral sores
6. A fungal ailment known as oral candidiasis or oral thrush occurs when the candida fungus (often C. Albicans) overgrows in the mouth.
7. Gum illness (periodontitis)
8. Decayed teeth and cavities (caries)
9 . Alveolar osteitis (dry socket) with endodontic infections (root canal)
10 .Tonsillitis
11 .Respiratory infections
12. A heart attack and a stroke
13. Certain cancer types
Address the underlying cause of your "sick teeth and gums."
Daily actions to do:
1. Take 1 tab of organic coconut oil and perform oil pulling by swishing it about for 5 minutes the first morning
2.Use fluoride-free toothpaste
3. Two minutes of brushing
4. The finest choice is to floss using "hydro Floss."
5. Clean your tongue with a scrapper
6. Using colloidal silver and essential oils, make a DIY mouthwash
7. Avoid Root Canals Procedures
I always ask each Client who agrees to work with me if they have amalgam fillings or root canals, and I recommend having the amalgam replaced with a non-toxic filling and seeing a BIOLOGICAL dentist. I also assist them in boosting their immune systems and restoring what has to be restored.
Unfortunately, the majority of them already have health problems and are unaware that half of them are related to their oral health.
Please be mindful of your mouth.
