The Importance of Your Oral Microbiome: Interview with Functional Dentist Dr. Amy Myers

The Gut Connection

On "The Gut Connection" we talk a lot about the gut microbiome, but did you know that studies are showing that your oral microbiome can play a key role in your health also? The oral microbiome is the second largest microbiome region--only the gut microbiome is larger! The oral microbiome hosts more than 770 species of bacteria and the balance of these microbes can have a significant impact on not only the health of your teeth and gums, but can influence the health of your gut, brain, joints, and more! Listen as Dr. Amy Myers DMD tells us about the emerging science of the oral microbiome and get some tips about how to effectively maintain it.
