We connect oral health to blood pressure, metabolism, and immune function by focusing on the oral microbiome and daily habits that protect nitric oxide production. Practical tools include hydroxyapatite toothpaste, flossing and water flossers, tongue scraping, xylitol, and targeted oral probiotics, plus knowing when to see a biological dentist.

• oral microbiome as a driver of systemic inflammation and cardiovascular health
• nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide pathway and impacts of antiseptic mouthwash
• hydroxyapatite toothpaste benefits and ingredients to avoid
• brushing technique, flossing as non‑negotiable, role of water flossers
• tongue scraping for biofilm control, breath, and taste
• xylitol, Streptococcus salivarius, and Lactobacillus reuteri for targeted support
• saliva, pH timing around meals, and enamel protection
• red flags for professional care and value of biological dentistry
