When people think about gut health, they often think about probiotics, yogurt, or eating more fibre.
But many are surprised to learn that your mouth is the beginning of your digestive system.
Your mouth is home to billions of bacteria. When your gums and teeth are healthy, these bacteria exist in balance. But when plaque builds up and gum disease develops, harmful bacteria can increase and be swallowed every day.
That's one of the reasons good oral hygiene is an important part of your overall wellness.
Regular professional dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't eliminate. Combined with good home care, they help keep your mouth healthier and support your body's natural balance.
If it's been a while since your last hygiene appointment, now is a great time to get back on track.
