Most dentists agree that your teeth are the gateway to the rest of your body. Dental health sometimes gets put in the backseat; many falsely believe that taking care of your body is different from taking care of your mouth.

In reality, the two are the same.

An unhealthy mouth can lead to several very serious consequences for your overall health. Some significant mouth problems can result in heart issues or even death!

Taking care of our teeth should be a priority. Brushing might not be enough.

Evidence suggests that even some people who brush and floss consistently may still suffer serious dental problems.

One reason for this might be the bacterial biomes in our mouths. As gross as it sounds, the human mouth is one of the most bacteria-ridden places on the planet. Billions of bacteria live inside your mouth.

While some bacteria are harmful, others are necessary to maintain health in the teeth and gums.

For reasons scientists don’t fully understand, some people naturally have trouble maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria within the mouth. This is one big reason why people who brush and floss perfectly may still, unfortunately, develop weakened enamel, gum disease, and other troubling dental problems.

As it turns out, many common dental products (such as toothpaste and mouthwash) contain toxic ingredients that can destroy the microbiome in the mouth. This explains why teeth can thrive for hundreds of years outside the mouth (in fossils), while in our mouth they get ruined by something so simple as chocolate.

How should people with these problems approach their dental health?

One solution involves supplementing your diet using probiotics that is specially designed to repopulate your mouth with good bacteria.

One probiotic we have seen that has shown amazing results is Provaent, a dietary supplement that help people increase the presence of healthy probiotics in the mouth. We’ll cover this popular new dietary supplement’s benefits, ingredients, and price.
