The Red Flag in Your Sink: Why We Ignore Bleeding Gums
Description
Tired of being told to "just floss more" but still seeing blood? The solution is far more complex and fascinating. In this episode, we dismantle the common misconception that bleeding gums are a simple hygiene issue. We reveal inflammation as a whole-body problem and explore the intricate web of factors that cause it:
The Diet Connection: How sugar fuels inflammatory bacteria and nutrient deficiencies hinder repair.
The Stress & Sleep Axis: The surprising ways cortisol and sleep deprivation sabotage your mouth's immune system.
The Mouth Breathing Effect: Why a dry mouth at night creates a bacterial nightmare.
The Microbiome Mismatch: Understanding dysbiosis and the balance of good vs. bad bacteria.
Join us as we outline the essential partnership between you and your clinician, transforming you from a passive patient into an active health detective to finally solve the mystery of your bleeding gums for good.
