Sjögren’s disease is an auto-immune disease also known as an “unseen disease.” Sjögren’s is characterized by inflammation, and may result from, or be triggered by, a dysregulation of the normal immune response. It can be difficult to diagnose, as its symptoms are similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis and other auto-immune diseases.

In this episode, we are discussing Sjögren’s disease and the science behind its two cardinal symptoms, dry eyes and dry mouth. We even get into lifestyle tips for those living with Sjögren’s, and different ways to avoid extra inflammation. Also, as a Registered Dental Hygienist, I am sharing oral health tips that will promote good oral health for those suffering with Sjögren’s.

So, let’s learn more about this auto-immune disease and how it affects people every day. Join me, and my guest Indi, on today’s discussion, The Complexity of Sjögren’s.

As the pandemic continues to keep its presence and remain relevant in our world, researchers are discovering more information about the progression of the COVID-19 virus and the connection to saliva’s enzyme receptors in the mouth.

As most of you know, your mouth is the first line of defense against foreign bacteria, viruses, and overall infections. Saliva has one of the most difficult roles in the body. Not only does it protect the body as the first line of defense, but it also must fight off all foreign microorganisms that enter the mouth and protect the mucosa and oral tissues from trauma, burns, and lesions. No pressure on saliva! 

Saliva has so many functions, it’s incredible how important it is to your oral and systemic health! Today, I am going to only focus on a few of saliva’s main functions that are relevant and related to our topic on Covid-19 and the connection it has to saliva.
