Oral Microbiome Overview
Presented by Vanita Dahia
This engaging webinar that explores the critical connection between the oral microbiome and whole-body health.
The oral microbiome, home to over 700 species of microorganisms, plays a pivotal role in oral, gut, and systemic health. Imbalances in this microbial ecosystem can lead to periodontitis, oral thrush, dental caries, and systemic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
In this session, we’ll dive into how diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle factors influence the oral microbiome and contribute to both local and systemic inflammation. You’ll learn practical strategies for maintaining oral microbial balance, including the use of targeted probiotics, lifestyle changes, and testing methods.
By the end of the webinar, you will:
- Understand the impact of oral dysbiosis on chronic conditions, including autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular health.
- Learn the significance of pH balance, biofilm management, and diet in promoting oral health.
- Discover effective testing methods and targeted treatments for microbial imbalances.
- Explore how the oral-gut axis influences gastrointestinal and systemic health.
Equip yourself with the tools and knowledge to support your patients’ oral health and its vital connection to overall well-being.
