Oral Microbiome

Maintaining a healthy oral microbiome is crucial for overall health, as it can impact not only dental health but also systemic conditions like cardiac and metabolic diseases. Andrew Huberman emphasizes the importance of natural methods to strengthen teeth, such as building hydroxyapatite bonds and using a soft toothbrush to avoid damaging gum tissue 1. He categorizes people into those who are overly diligent about oral hygiene and those who are neglectful, both potentially harming their oral microbiome.

Oral health is one of the most important areas of health. And it's one of the most overlooked areas of oral health.
