EP 59 : Things You Can do To Improve Oral Health
We do not fully appreciate the importance oral health has on our overall health. The fact of the matter is, the delicate balance of bacteria in your mouth is as important to your health as your gut microbiome. When certain bacteria become overgrown, various oral problems start to develop.
Your oral microbiome is like your gut microbiome in the sense that it needs to be well-balanced in order to support optimal health. Even otherwise harmless bacteria can have pathogenic effects if the balance gets too disrupted. However, while ingesting probiotics will improve the balance of bacteria in your gut, this strategy does not work for your oral cavity. Instead, the key to improving your oral microbiome is, first and foremost, to cease the indiscriminate killing of microbes in your mouth.
Everyone is different in our genetic makeup.
Develop a Comprehensive Oral Health Plan
Caring for your teeth and gums is an essential part of your overall health and wellness. It’s important to address nutrition, oral care, and the products you use.
To summarize, here’s a five-step plan that can help you improve your oral health this year:
1. Reduce your net carbohydrate intake to meet your insulin level requirement.
2. Brush twice or three times a day, 30 to 60 minutes after drinking and/or eating.
3. Use a non fluoridated toothpaste, or make your own using natural ingredients.
4. Floss daily.
5. Pull with coconut oil once a day
