Absolutely everyone has bacteria in their mouth, the problem arises when they multiply or in combination with some other problems.
The main ones include poor oral hygiene, problems with the digestive tract, inflammation of the respiratory tract, weakened immunity, hormonal changes, taking medications, eating flavored foods, overeating or, conversely, fasting.
People are more likely to reach for mouthwash and chewing gum, and they are also paying more attention to brushing their teeth and tongue.
Sometimes they also eat raw vegetables (carrots, celery), apples, or chew spices such as cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, or fresh leaves of dill, parsley, fennel, or mint.
But this does not always work, and if it does, it does not work for long, mainly because none of them address the real cause.
The researchers conducted a large meta-analysis of existing scientific studies and found that a much more effective solution to the problem is to include probiotic bacteria from fermented foods in the diet.
Try yogurt, sourdough bread, or miso soup, for example. These bacteria help remove plaque from your teeth and tongue.
Probiotics protect against harmful bacteria. Other foods and drinks rich in probiotics include sauerkraut, cucumbers, and kombucha.
