The Healthy Microbiome of the Mouth: Is Sterilizing the Mouth Causing Cardiovascular Disease?

Presented by: Reid Winick, DDS

This presentation will discuss how dysbiosis in the oral microbiome, as seen in the gut, will lead to inflammation, illness, and disease well beyond the oral cavity. There are over 700 species of bacteria in the oral microbiome. These bacteria harbor themselves in the many different terrains of the mouth – the tongue, the teeth, the gums, the palate, and in the roots of the teeth. Therefore, salivary diagnostics are so important to our overall health and wellbeing.

This presentation was recorded at the 2022 Integrative Healthcare Symposium Annual Conference.
