Your mouth is more than a smile. Discover how dental health connects to your heart, brain, and inflammation levels — especially as we age.

Dental health isn’t just cosmetic — it can be a mirror for what’s happening in the rest of your body.

Here’s what to watch:

Inflamed gums? May be a sign of chronic, low-grade inflammation elsewhere in the body.

Bad breath? Could point to gut imbalance or blood sugar issues.

Loose teeth or bleeding? Possible connection to bone loss or nutrient deficiencies (like vitamin K2 and D3).

What helps:

Oil pulling (swishing coconut oil) to reduce bacteria

Nasal breathing for better saliva balance

Avoiding overly acidic foods and frequent snacking

Taking care of your teeth supports more than just your smile.
