1. Bleeding gums: stop the inflammation!
Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? This could be a sign of inflammation, such as gingivitis, which is often caused by an imbalance in your dental microbiome. Your dental microbiome is the group of bacteria (both good and bad) that live in your mouth. If the bad bacteria overgrow, they can cause inflammation and bleeding!
How to do it? Choose a toothbrush that gently cleans, like The Smilist's polishing toothbrush, which removes plaque without damaging your gums. Combine it with The Smilist's regenerating toothpaste to help restore the balance of your dental microbiota and soothe irritation.
2. Tooth sensitivity: say goodbye to sharp pain
Do you cringe every time you drink a hot beverage or bite into an ice cream? Tooth sensitivity often occurs when the protective enamel on your teeth erodes, exposing the dentin (the inside of your teeth). This can be made worse by an imbalance in your microbiota, which promotes acidity and erosion...
Solution? Opt for specific treatments that protect enamel and strengthen your mouth's natural defenses. The Smilist's whitening micro-essence, in addition to giving your teeth shine, helps strengthen enamel thanks to natural active ingredients that preserve your microbiota!
3. Dry mouth and discomfort: Don't underestimate the importance of hydration
Dry mouth can be caused by a disrupted dental microbiota, saliva plays a key role in controlling the bacterial population and maintaining a balanced pH. A dry mouth can not only be uncomfortable, but also create a breeding ground for bad bacteria, leading to cavities and infections...
What to do? Drink enough water and consider using moisturizing products that stimulate saliva production while rebalancing the microbiota. Proper oral hygiene is crucial to avoid making dryness worse!
4. Bad breath (halitosis): when freshness is lacking
Let's not kid ourselves, no one likes to find out they have bad breath. It's often a sign that the dental microbiota is out of balance, with an excess of bad bacteria that produce unpleasant sulfur compounds. It can also indicate gum disease!
The trick? Try The Smilist's purifying mouthwash, formulated with a complex of botanical oils. It helps rebalance the microbiota while eliminating bad bacteria, for fresh breath, naturally!
5. Are your teeth moving? Beware of periodontitis
If your teeth don't seem as aligned as they used to be, it could be a sign of a loss of bone support due to periodontitis. The connection to dental microbiota? Periodontitis often develops when bad bacteria win the battle against good, attacking the supporting tissues!
Prevention? Healthy gums are key. Adopt care that promotes tissue regeneration and helps restore a healthy dental microbiota, for a mouth in great shape!
Take care of your dental microbiota and your smile!
