We interviewed Jocelyn Strand ND of Biocidin about how the oral microbiome affects whole-body health. You can watch the replay below.
In This Webinar
The oral microbiome consists of all the microbes living in the mouth, whether they are bacteria, viruses, yeasts or parasites. In this webinar, Dr. Jocelyn Strand will help us answer the following questions:
- What is the oral microbiome?
- What influences the composition of the oral microbiome?
- How does the oral microbiome affect the health of the rest of the body?
- How can a dry mouth negatively affect the oral microbiome?
- What are some health conditions that can be directly affected by oral pathogens?
- What can help improve the health of the microbiome?
Please note that you will be asked to provide your email address at the 30-minute mark to continue viewing the replay.
