Unlocking the Mysteries of Oral Health
Oral health issues are predominantly driven by microbial imbalances.
The Root of Oral Problems: Microbial Imbalance
Most of the oral symptoms we face result from harmful bacteria. While these bacteria exist in our mouths, their adverse effects are controlled when beneficial bacteria dominate. These friendly bacteria inhibit the growth and activity of their harmful counterparts. It's when the delicate balance of this oral microbiome is disrupted that oral problems arise.
Cavities
Cavities, also known as caries, are the result of S. mutans bacteria residing in our oral cavity. These bacteria metabolize sugars from our food and produce acid. This acid can attack tooth tissue, leading to the formation of cavities.
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal Disease: The term 'periodontal' refers to the areas around the tooth. Periodontal disease involves inflammation caused by bacterial infections within these structures, which include the gums and bones surrounding the teeth.
Halitosis (Bad Breath)
Apart from systemic diseases, approximately 85% of halitosis cases - unpleasant breath - are due to oral problems. Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs), the main odor-causing components, arise when harmful bacteria in the mouth breakdown proteins from food residues and other substances.
Prominent Harmful Oral Bacteria
Did you know that your oral health is closely related? Each can directly affect the other, as well as being an indicator that something is wrong. The systems in our body all depend on each other to function well.
Your mouth can tell you a lot about the health of your body. The mouth acts as a mirror to show signs of diseases.
The key is to create an oral environment where beneficial bacteria dominate.
When harmful viruses and bacteria enter the mouth from the outside, the beneficial bacteria in the oral cavity respond immediately. Even if harmful bacteria invade, they cannot reproduce and are eliminated when beneficial bacteria are established in the oral cavity.
Peaceful coexistence with microorganisms that come from nature, rather than through chemical and artificial methods, is the eco-friendly solution that OraTicx advocates for.
They work by creating a protective biofilm that supports the health of teeth and gums and reduce inflammation, while blocking,
controlling, and killing bad bacteria from reaching enamel or vulnerable tissues.
The form of lozenges could be the best type of oral probiotics. They are meant to sit in your mouth while they dissolve, thus
allowing enough time to inoculate your oral microbiome.
