Dr Michael Cai, a dentist from Pitt St Dental Centre in Sydney, has revealed how he can tell if you are more likely to die in your sleep simply by looking inside your mouth.
The article from the Daily Mail discusses how a dentist can determine a person's overall health by examining their mouth. Dr. Ellie Phillips, a holistic dentist, explains that various signs in the mouth can indicate underlying health issues. For instance, bleeding gums might suggest deficiencies in nutrients like vitamin C or zinc, or could be linked to diabetes or heart disease. She also notes that a dry mouth could be a sign of dehydration or a side effect of medications, while a white-coated tongue might indicate poor gut health or an overgrowth of candida. Dr. Phillips emphasizes the importance of oral health as a window to systemic health, advocating for a holistic approach to dental care that considers diet, lifestyle, and overall well-being rather than just treating symptoms. She warns against the overuse of mouthwash, which can kill beneficial bacteria, and encourages natural methods to maintain oral health, like oil pulling and proper hydration.
