Webinar - The oral microbiome and its impact in whole-body health

The oral cavity is home to the second largest concentration of microorganisms in the human body, second only to the gut. The complex community of microbes in your mouth influences your risk of gum inflammation, periodontal disease, dental cavities, and more. But did you know that its influence extends far beyond the mouth? Join Rebecca Edwards, as she takes you on a fascinating exploration of the intricate connections between oral microbes and oral health, cardiovascular disease, metabolic health, Alzheimer's, and more. Rebecca will be providing a comprehensive overview of the strong body of evidence supporting condition-specific and clinically-trialled probiotics which have demonstrated an ability to significantly improve many aspects of oral health. Learning Objectives: The complexities of the oral microbiome and the formation of dental plaque The role of dental plaque in the pathophysiology of dental cavities, gum inflammation, periodontitis and halitosis Results from human clinical trials on oral probiotics and their impact on these oral diseases The impact of commonly-prescribed mouthwashes on the oral microbiota and cardiovascular health How to successfully incorporate probiotics into oral hygiene routines The systemic effects of the oral microbiota, including its impact on neurodegenerative disorders,autoimmunity, cardiovascular diseases and more
