🦠Could your mouth be giving us clues about brain health? 🧠
-your mouth is home to a complex community of bacteria, including organisms called Spirochetes!
🔬Why does that matter?
-Research is uncovering fascinating connections between oral bacteria, gum disease, inflammation, and brain health.
Some studies have found oral bacteria and periodontal pathogens in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, and researchers are investigating whether chronic oral inflammation may play a role in cognitive decline 📈
🧫This is where oral swabbing comes in.
-A simple oral swab can give your dental team a closer took at the microorganisms present in your mouth.
✨SEE IT. KNOW IT. MANAGE IT. ✨
