Having good oral health is so much more than just a bright white smile and having no cavities. Today, I want to talk about the impact of periodontal disease and what you can be doing when it comes to your oral health.† 

Why is oral health so important?

Oral hygiene is more impactful on our health than just oral health. It’s been linked to heart health, blood sugar health, kidney health, brain health and bone health. We know that we have to pay attention when it comes to oral health and we have to make sure we are helping to regulate any type of inflammation that is occurring.†

Chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation is a major indicator for all chronic diseases. Periodontal disease can trigger this type of inflammation. This is why it is so important to make sure you are maintaining the health of your oral cavities and gums.† 

Taking care of your mouth can come down to multiple factors, including both diet and supplementation. Taking something such as our Probiotic HxⓇ on a regular basis allows us to maintain a healthy microbiome. We can also look at the dental care products we are using.†  

Turning to natural dental care products  

When we think about all the different chemicals that we expose ourselves to, we often overlook things like toothpaste and mouthwash. We don’t want to be adding in chemicals when we have alternatives that are coming from nature.†

This is why we offer our PerioDentalⓇ White TEAth Gel. This contains white tea, which offers EGCG. EGCG is a very powerful antioxidant that helps to fend off oxidative stress and free radicals within the mouth. This helps us support a healthy balance of bacteria.†

By utilizing the White TEAth Gel everyday as your toothpaste, you’re going to get this wonderful antioxidant power from the white tea extract, but it also has coenzymeQ10, zinc and Vitamin C. When we think about the wound-healing properties and cross-linking of collagen, we know that we have to have both Vitamin C and zinc.†     

This tooth gel also contains a wonderful blend of different herbal extracts, including myrrh, olive leaf extract and peppermint oil. This helps to optimize the overall microbial environment, while also allowing for a lovely, natural way to clean your teeth.† 

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses our White TEAth Gel formula. She explains the powerful nutrients that are included in this toothpaste, as well as why oral health is so important for overall wellness.†

New Study: Runners at Higher Risk of Oral Health Issues

New Study: Runners at Higher Risk of Oral Health Issues

Running has countless benefits for the body and usually is considered one of the top physical activities for the most overall health and fitness benefits. But like most exercises, running also has its downsides. Generally, these downsides include a variety of injuries, especially to the legs, knees, and ankles. Now, research has discovered another health risk – poor oral health.

Knowledgeable supplementation may improve the rate of recovery after exercise training, prevent dehydration, and reduce the incidence of injury.

Study: Link Between Runners and Oral Health Issues

A triathletes’ high carbohydrate consumption, including sports drinks and energy bars during training, can lower the mouth’s pH level to below the critical mark of 5.5. This shows that the oral health of runners is at risk. Runners may suffer a much higher rate of tooth erosion and cavities. What’s more, athletes tend to breathe through their mouths during hard exercise. The mouth gets dry and produces less saliva, which normally protects the teeth.

How Running Benefits Every Aspect of Your Life

Results from one study of various dental tests in both runners and non-runners revealed no significant difference in cavities between the two groups, although the athletes who trained the most had the most cavities. The type of sports beverage consumed was also not linked to cavities. However, there was a highly significant difference in tooth erosion, with the athletes having a much higher rate. At rest, members of the two groups had similar saliva profiles. However, when they began exercising, the athletes produced less saliva and it was acidic as well (pH lower than 7). Also, the degree of acidity increased with the length of time exercising. The exercise test given to the athletes lasted just 36 minutes on average. Saliva is considered very important to good tooth health.

Oral Hygiene

Poor oral hygiene is often linked to poor overall health. The mouth is commonplace for bacteria to thrive, which can have a harmful impact on your health along with causing bad breath, cavities and tooth decay. It’s important that runners find the best oral care products too. This will give them a higher chance of preventing bad oral hygiene, so it’s important to find a good brand of oral health products. Make sure to find reputable products that are known to help with oral hygiene, helping you to have fewer problems and issues.
