When you think about your health, do you consider what is happening inside of your mouth?

It took me a long time to fully understand this connection, but upon learning it, it just makes sense. 

When we think about the autoimmune response in Hashimoto’s disease, we immediately know that inflammation is present.  The mouth is one of the most prevalent sources of chronic low-grade inflammation in the body.

Looking inside the mouth will give us so much more information in regards to your overall health.

Some important things to look for:

• Gum and Periodontal Disease

• Dental Infections

• Root Canal Treated Teeth

• Oral Care Products

• Mercury Fillings

• Incompatible Dental Materials

• Chronically Inflamed/Infected Tonsils

I know this list can appear daunting, especially if you have more than one concern listed.  So, start small and make some impactful actions for your health.

If you just start by swapping out your oral care products you are off to a good start.

Look for the ingredients and toss anything that contains fluoride, SLS, and triclosan.  Did you know fluoride actually inhibits thyroid function? And the other 2 are endocrine disruptors that wipe out beneficial bacteria.

Some of my favorite oral care products are from Risewell and you can use code: ANGELABROWN10 for 10 % off your whole order.
