Beyond Brushing and Flossing
You’ve heard of the gut microbiome — but did you know your mouth has its own thriving ecosystem of bacteria too? It’s called the oral microbiome, and keeping it balanced is the key to not only fresh breath and healthy gums but also your overall wellbeing.
What Is the Oral Microbiome?
Your oral microbiome is made up of over 700 species of bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms. Some are helpful, protecting against cavities and gum disease, while others are harmful if left unchecked.
How the Oral Microbiome Affects Your Health
- Cavities & Gum Health: A disrupted microbiome leads to plaque, decay, and inflammation.
- Gut Health: Everything in your mouth eventually travels down to your digestive system — meaning an unhealthy mouth can disrupt your gut microbiome.
- Immune System: A balanced oral microbiome acts as your body’s first line of defence against harmful pathogens.
Why Traditional Toothpaste Can Harm Your Microbiome
Many big-brand toothpastes contain antibacterial agents or harsh chemicals that wipe out good bacteria along with the bad. This leaves your oral ecosystem unbalanced and more vulnerable.
