Oral Microbiome's Impact
- The mouth has the second largest and most diverse microbiome in the body.
- An imbalanced oral microbiome can negatively impact gut health, as 50% of the gut microbiome originates from the mouth.
Teeth-Brain Connection
- Teeth are directly connected to the trigeminal nerve, an extension of the brain.
- Dental materials can impact the brain through retrograde axonal transport.
Cavitations and Inflammation
- Cavitations, or chronic jawbone inflammations, are often overlooked in conventional dentistry.
- They release chemokines like RANTIS (CCL5), linked to conditions like multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
