Microbiome and Dysbiosis Video #5: Dysbiosis by Location—The Mouth
Microbiome and Dysbiosis Video #5: Dysbiosis by Location—The Mouth
What microbes and dysbiotic problems are seen in the mouth? What systemic inflammatory diseases have origins in the mouth? What is “oil pulling” and does it have any scientific basis?
In approximately 2005/2006, I coined the phrase multifocal polydysbiosis to communicate that persons/patients could have dysbiosis in more than one location (multifocal) and could have dysbiosis by more than one microbe at a time. The two classic examples have been rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, which are the best defined disorders of autoimmunity induced by dysbiosis (generally) and multifocal polydysbiosis (especially with the more complicated cases). You can see the concept of multifocal polydysbiosis on the cover of the monograph/excerpt (image provided below) from Inflammation Mastery, 4th Edition.

Questions before you begin:
What microbes and dysbiotic problems are seen in the mouth?
What systemic inflammatory diseases have origins in the mouth?
What is “oil pulling” and does it have any scientific basis?
What mouth-specific treatments improve overall/systemic health?
