Emerging research reveals a fascinating connection between the oral ecosystem and mental well-being through the oral–gut–brain axis. Imbalances in oral microbes may disrupt gut health, trigger inflammation, and affect mood and cognition.
Studies connect disturbances in oral and gut microbes with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and even Alzheimer’s, showing how oral health extends far beyond the teeth and gums.
Good oral care - brushing, flossing, dental check-ups, and a mindful diet - can help support mental and overall health.
