Did you know your digestion actually starts in your mouth, not your stomach?
โYour molars (those big teeth at the back) are the ultimate food-grinders. They break down what you eat into smaller, manageable pieces while mixing it with enzymes in your saliva.
โWhen your molars are decayed, missing, or hurting, you tend to swallow larger chunks of food. The result?
๐ฅ Your stomach has to work overtime.
๐ฅ Increased bloating, gas, and indigestion.
๐ฅ Poor nutrient absorption (you aren't getting the full benefits of your food!).
โA healthy gut needs a healthy mouth. If chewing has become a chore, your digestive system is probably feeling the strain too. Time to book that dental checkup!
