Teeth

Dental hygiene is an important part of total body health. A healthy mouth works to prevent infections from entering the body. In fact, some studies have shown that plaque build-up leads to a higher chance of cardiovascular disease and poorly managed diabetes.  But it starts with gum disease.

Here are some actionable tips for optimal oral health: Avoid gluten: one of the most straightforward tactics is simply to remove gluten from your diet, just as you would to manage other manifestations of celiac disease Avoid antibacterial mouthwashes: just like antibiotics, antibacterial mouthwashes can’t tell the difference between good and bad bacteria and just kill it all. This can damage the balance of bacteria in your oral microbiome and ultimately do more harm than good Take probiotics: probiotics can not only help support the balance of bacteria in your gut, they can also support the balance of bacteria in your mouth, lowering the chance of bad breath, cavities, gum disease and even tooth loss Avoid acidic foods: if oral lesions exist, acidic foods can exacerbate discomfort and inhibit healing. Try intermittent fasting: intermittent fasting allows you to limit the amount of sugars and other particles in your mouth, and the time they spend there. This helps to naturally reduce the amount of bacteria that causes plaque, which can lead to inflammation of the gums. Keeping your mouth free of food for 12-16 hours or more also gives your mouth a break and allows it time to heal any sores or lesions that exist. Keeping your mouth free of food for 16 to 24 hours is like a daily detox for the gums and teeth. Consider nutrient testing and supplementation: since celiac disease and gluten sensitivity can lead to nutritional deficiencies which can exacerbate oral health concerns, consider testing your levels of key nutrients and supplementing as needed to get your levels back into healthy ranges where needed. Test for food sensitivities: your sensitivities may extend beyond gluten. Ask your doctor for a comprehensive food sensitivity test to identify other foods that may be contributing to compromised health – whether in your mouth, your gut, or elsewhere!

You can see how one complication can quickly lead to another, resulting in a domino effect, with gluten sensitivity at the root of it all. The following are examples of how nutrient deficiencies can lead to oral health concerns. Iron Can cause angular stomatitis, causing saliva buildup at the corners of the mouth. Microorganisms build up, leading to painful burning sores and dry lips. Vitamin D Can cause enlarged andenoids, compromising tooth integrity, and abnormal patterns in the alveolar bone (part of the jaw that supports the teeth). * can manifest as Andenotonsillar Hypertrophy Zinc Can cause loss of sensation in the tongue, loss of taste, dry mouth, and susceptibility to gum disease. Vitamin C Can cause irregular formation of dentin, alterations of the dental pulp, bleeding gums, delayed would healing in the mouth, and defective collagen formation. Vitam B1, B2, B3 Can cause inflammation of the tongue and cheilosis, corners of the mouth become inflamed, leading to pain and potentially bleeding, making it difficult to yawn, chew or speak. Vitamin B6 Can lead to periodontal disease, anemia, sore tongue, and burning in the mouth. Vitamin B12 Can lead to bone loss around the teeth, hemorrhagic gingivitis, detachment of periodontal fibers, painful ulcers in the mouth, and angular cheilosis. Vitamin A Can cause impaired tooth formation, enamel hypoplasia, and decreased epithelial tissue development.
