HEALTHY DIGESTION STARTS WHERE? The Link Between Oral Health and Digestion
Did you know that the health of your mouth is directly linked to other parts of your body? Regular dental visits are paramount to ensure your digestive health as well as your overall health! A healthier mouth promotes a healthier body. Proper digestion plays a major role in your overall health. Your gut is linked to your immune system, metabolism, and even your brain. Your mouth, which shares a close bond with your gut, may be the easiest way to detect a problem elsewhere in your body, especially digestive issues and diseases. Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, all present in the mouth in the form of an oral infestation. You may even develop white lesions within your mouth, similar to the ones within the colon. Bleeding gums or gingivitis is a sign that somewhere within your digestive system, there is a problem. If you have painful lesions or red patches on your gums and inside of your cheeks, they could point to a potential vitamin B12 deficiency. Lack of B12, or an inability to properly absorb the vitamin, can potentially mean bigger problems in another area of your body. Tooth decay also weakens your immune system.
Dental issues and diseases are often the very first signs of a digestive imbalance. If you have an immune imbalance within your gut, it can present with mouth ulcers and inflamed, red gums. Celiac disease, an
autoimmune response to gluten, can interfere with tooth formation, resulting in discolored teeth and possibly mouth ulcers.
To maximize your gut health, you must first take a look within your mouth, as it can be the window to many other potential issues going on elsewhere in your body. A healthy, happy mouth equals a healthy, happy gut!
