<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>A microbiome is a congregation of the microbial residents in the body. It is made up of commensal, pathogenic, and symbiotic microorganisms. There are as many or almost as many microbes in the body than there are cells. The microorganisms found in the human oral cavity are known as the oral microbiome, sometimes called the oral microbiota or oral microflora. It is the second-largest microbial community in the body after the gut.</p>
<p>Research on oral microbiomes is still expanding. However, <a title="Read more about oral microbiomes" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6503789/#sec1-9title" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Gut-Health">existing literature makes it evident</a> that it can cause both oral and systemic conditions. Ideally, the oral microbiome rests within biofilms throughout the oral cavity, forming an ecosystem that maintains health in a state of equilibrium. If this equilibrium is disrupted, pathogens may manifest and cause disease. As such, patients should ensure that their primary dental provider understands the importance of the oral microbiome.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Bacteria and the Digestive System</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The mouth is a natural breeding ground for bacteria, especially since it acts as an entryway to the digestive and respiratory tracts. Fortunately, most of such bacteria are harmless and can be kept at bay with the body's natural defenses and good oral hygiene. However, improper maintenance may allow bacteria to flourish, leading to oral infections. This oral bacteria <a title="Read more about Can oral bacteria affect the microbiome of the gut" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6427756/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Gut-Health">can make its way to the gut</a>, changing the microbiome and potentially influencing its immune defense.</p>
<p>This may lead to colon conditions such as Crohn's disease, gluten sensitivity, and colitis. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation of the digestive tract. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, fatigue, malnutrition, severe diarrhea, and weight loss. People with gluten sensitivity, as the name suggests, have issues with digesting gluten. They may experience fatigue, leg numbness, muscle cramps, and stomachaches. Finally, colitis is a condition that causes the inflammation of the colon's inner lining. Primary symptoms depend on the exact cause of the condition but generally include abdominal pain, cramping, and diarrhea.</p>

<p>The microbiota <a title="Read more about Role of the Microbiota in Immunity and inflammation" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4056765/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Gut-Health">plays an integral role</a> in the inducting, training, and functioning of the patient's immune system. Accordingly, the immune system has evolved to maintain the patient's symbiotic relationship with the evolving microbes. Ideally, the immune system-microbiota alliance induces protective responses and supports regulatory pathways. Disrupting the microbiota will wear away at the resilience and diversity required for proper immune responses.</p>
<p>The gut microbiome is an endocrine organ in and of itself. The endocrine system synthesizes and secretes hormones to regulate physiological processes. As such, bacterial metabolites and components may affect organ function and physiological outcomes. These may also send signals to the immune and nervous systems. It is necessary to feed the gut army to encourage the diversity that can combat inflammation. Fiber is a good source of this, especially cruciferous vegetables.</p>

This system is two thin layers of over 100 million nerve cells that line the gastrointestinal tract from the esophagus to the rectum. It is responsible for controlling digestion and is in constant communication with the brain. The ENS may trigger mood swings in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional bowel problems. It may even affect cognition and raise or reduce a patient's risk for certain health conditions.</p>
<p>The gut and brain are connected through various nerves and neurotransmitters. Gut microbes may also produce chemicals that affect the brain and affect inflammation. Those with functional gastrointestinal disorders are more perceptive to pain since their brains are more responsive to pain signals from the gastrointestinal tract, and stress can worsen these symptoms.</p>

<p>There are many things individuals can do to <a title="Read more about 7 Things you can do for your gut health" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/gut-health#treatment" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Gut-Health">maintain their gut health at home</a>. Lowering their stress levels is critical, as is getting enough sleep. They should eat slowly, stay hydrated, and take a pre- or probiotic. Some may also benefit from checking for food intolerances and changing their diet accordingly. However, nothing can replace the expertise of a complete health dentist.</p>
<p>Though most dentists are aware of the link between gut health and oral health, traditional dentists still tend to focus on treating isolated symptoms rather than the root cause of a patient's condition. This can be a costly mistake, as poor gut health may lead to periodontal disease and dental decay. A complete health dentist can identify signs of poor gut health and stop its adverse effects. Furthermore, complete health dentists are not limited to diagnosing and treating oral health conditions. They can often recognize the signs of other systemic diseases associated with poor oral health.</p>
<p>Poor gut health often starts when bacteria enter the mouth, cause oral infections, and spread to other parts of the body. University Dental Associates is proud to help patients maintain their total health through personalized treatment tailor-made to fit each individual's unique needs. This involves regular cleanings, dental exams, wellness visits, and various other dental treatments a patient may need. Our offices can also, with patient permission, communicate with other healthcare providers to provide the most comprehensive care plan possible. Poor gut health may lead to several other health conditions. We can help patients maintain their oral hygiene to prevent any unnecessary complications.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What are the signs of an unhealthy gut?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Unfortunately, many aspects of contemporary life are detrimental to the gut microbiome. These involve high levels of stress, inadequate sleep, diets full of processed and high-sugar foods, and excessive use of antibiotics. These factors may lead to symptoms such as upset stomach, unintentional weight changes, sleep disturbances or constant fatigue, skin irritation, autoimmune conditions, and food intolerances.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Is it enough to go to the dentist once a year?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Probably not. Though the amount of dental care a person needs varies from individual to individual, most American adults report poor dietary and sleeping habits. These can both impede healing and lead to further gut inflammation. Our team can devise a personalized treatment plan for your needs.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What kind of foods should I eat for good gut health?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Mineral-rich foods, healthy fats, non-starchy veggies, and vitamin-K rich foods are effective means of supporting oral health. These foods control the biofilm on the teeth and reduce plaque buildup. It is also critical to stay hydrated. Chewing sugar-free gum may also help remineralize teeth with xylitol.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What are some health conditions are associated with oral infections?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a crucial indicator of oral and overall health. If left untreated, it may cause or worsen inflammation in other parts of the body. It can also have disastrous effects on the patient's oral health, potentially leading to lost teeth. Conversely, some conditions may make a patient more susceptible to gum disease. Some conditions associated with gum disease include, but are not limited to, IBS, diabetes, certain cancers, weight gain, dementia, cardiovascular conditions, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bacterial pneumonia.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How can probiotics benefit my oral health?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Not all bacteria are harmful -- in fact, some are necessary. "Healthy" bacteria are known as probiotics or probiotic bacteria. Those that support a healthy mouth are explicitly known as oral probiotics. Taking oral probiotics delivers these beneficial bacterial strains directly to the mouth to colonize the mouth's biofilms. They boost the mouth's immune system and promote overall oral health.</span></p>
