Emma Sullivan and David Park explore how the bacterial ecosystem in your mouth shifts toward disease-causing species as you age, driven by changes in saliva, chewing force, and immune function. They break down the research linking periodontal disease to systemic inflammation and accelerated aging, then walk through practical, evidence-based steps: specific dental assessments, hydration, deliberate chewing, and what to do if you're genetically predisposed to gum disease. You'll come away understanding why your oral microbiome matters far beyond your teeth, and exactly what to ask your dentist to catch problems before they affect your whole-body health.
