Once the oral cavity and teeth have a good microbiome, this also affects the entire digestive tract or other microbiomes. This means a healthy oral cavity is a crucial factor for a healthy gut.
Prevention through oral health has proven effective in various medical conditions. This mainly concerns arteriosclerosis, heart attack, and the worsening of diabetes or osteoarthritis. Also, potency problems and unfulfilled desire for children, as well as a generally weakened immune system with susceptibility to viruses, fungi, and bacteria, can be positively influenced by good oral hygiene. In addition, oral health is particularly effective in the prevention of breast, pancreatic, and colon cancer and also plays a health-promoting role in the prevention of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
