5. Restoring Flora
Just like the gut, the mouth is home to a lot of different forms of bacteria – some are meant to be there to aid digestion and other processes, while other forms of bacteria can be considered to be imposters in the body and are the ones that cause conditions such as tooth decay and oral thrush.
If the imbalance of the healthy bacteria in your mouth isn’t what it should be, then you are automatically at an increased risk of developing conditions such as thrush and gum disease – and these conditions might become recurring for as long as this imbalance remains.
Adapt your oral health routine, change your diet to include less acidic and sugary components, and consume plenty of healthy, good flora to keep your mouth in good condition. Brushing the teeth too much can also sometimes help to aggravate an imbalance of flora that occurs in the mouth.
