Published on April 09, 2025
Every year, World Health Day highlights a key issue affecting our well-being. In 2025, this date is the perfect opportunity to refocus on an often-overlooked truth: our overall health begins in the mouth.
At The Smilist, we believe that taking care of your smile also means nourishing your immunity, your digestive balance, and your vitality on a daily basis.
The mouth: a living, precious and fragile ecosystem
The oral cavity houses more than 700 species of bacteriaSome are beneficial: they protect enamel, aid digestion, and regulate pH. Others, called pathogens, cause cavities, inflammation, and infections.
Ce oral microbiota is a balance to maintain, like that of the intestine. When it goes awry, it becomes inflammatory and can affect the health of the heart, pancreas, skin... and even the brain.
Gums, heart, brain: everything is connected
The most recent research establishes direct links between oral diseases (such as periodontitis) and general pathologies:
Cancerous cardiovascular (via bacterial circulation in the blood)
Type 2 diabetes, which promotes chronic inflammation
An unbalanced mouth can therefore become a silent front door towards much wider disorders.
At The Smilist, our approach to care is holistic: it begins with listening to the body, respect for one's pace, and targeted advice for feed the “good” bacteria.
