Most people don't know they have an oral microbiome. It is actually very important! Your oral health, the health of your teeth and gums, play a large role in your overall health.
Most people don't floss as often as they should and don't think much of it when their gums bleed a little. It really is a bigger deal than you might think. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream from that spot in the gums that was bleeding. You don't want any bacteria from the mouth in the bloodstream. That can cause your body to launch an immune response that shouldn't be triggered. Also, plaque from your teeth can enter your bloodstream that way too. We all know what can happen when we have plaque in our blood vessels.... In fact, there are heart attack patients that have had the plaque in their arteries tested after the fact only to find out it is the same type of plaque that is found in the mouth. Hmmmmm......
