Thorough brushing: Take the time to clean all surfaces of your teeth properly, twice a day, using a suitable toothbrush. We recommend the pro polishing toothbrush from The Smilist — an absolute essential, even for the most sensitive gums.
A smile routine focused on the oral microbiome: The oral microbiome is essential for a healthy, radiant smile. It naturally protects against harmful bacteria, prevents bad breath, and strengthens gum health. To preserve this balance, opt for a tailored routine — we particularly recommend The Smilist routines, designed to support and nurture your oral flora!
Professional monitoring: Regular visits to the dentist are essential! They allow problems to be detected at the earliest stage and addressed promptly. It is also an opportunity to review the state of your oral microbiome and receive personalised advice!
Balanced diet: Limit sugar and favour fibre-rich foods to protect your teeth from daily damage. A varied and balanced diet also helps maintain a healthy oral microbiome, your first line of defence against harmful bacteria.
Why talk about the oral microbiome?
The oral microbiome is the community of micro-organisms living in your mouth. When it is healthy, it plays a major protective role: it helps prevent infections, supports digestion from the moment you start chewing, and even bolsters your immunity!
When this balance is disrupted — through stress, poor diet, lack of care — harmful bacteria gain the upper hand, which can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and even imbalances in our overall health. Caring for your oral microbiome is, quite simply, caring for yourself!
