Future Matcha Mouthwash? A new study from the Nihon University School of Dentistry at Matsudo in Japan, published on May 21, 2024, in Microbiology Spectrum, suggests that matcha green tea may help prevent and treat gum disease. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that matcha effectively inhibits the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a primary bacterium responsible for gum disease. In a human trial with 45 participants, those using matcha mouthwash had significantly reduced levels of P. gingivalis compared to groups using barley tea mouthwash or an anti-inflammatory chemical mouthwash. Matcha’s antibacterial properties could make it a viable clinical option for managing periodontitis, a condition linked to various systemic health issues like diabetes and heart disease. For more details, the Cleveland Clinic provides additional information on matcha’s health benefits.

The condition of your mouth has links to overall health. From Japan: Researchers have found that gargling with an antiseptic mouthwash can reduce so-called 'bad' bacteria in the mouths of patients with type 2 diabetes. Notably, this reduction in bacteria was accompanied by improved blood-sugar control in some patients. Given that the oral diseases caused by these bacteria have been linked to many other serious inflammation-associated diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease, this simple treatment may have widespread effects.

The connection of osteoporosis and lost of teeth:
-Bone loss and tooth loss are health concerns of older men and women.
-Tooth loss occur approximately 1 in 3 adults over age 65.
-If you have osteoporosis, you may be at risk for tooth loss. When the jawbone becomes less dense tooth loss can occur. Women with osteoporosis tend to have fewer teeth than women with normal bone density. Getting the right amount of calcium in your diet and taking the recommended amount of Vitamin D as a supplement are important for both your bones and oral health.

According to a NYU study: Older adults who are socially isolated are more likely to have missing teeth -- and to lose their teeth more quickly over time -- than those with more social interaction, according to a new study of Chinese older adults led by researchers at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. The findings are published in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology.

These are the top 5 health issues your teeth can reveal:

1. Eating disorders and tooth enamel

If an eating disorder involves vomiting, stomach acids wash over teeth and can dissolve the hard enamel covering. Changes in color, shape, translucency, or sensitivity may provide clues to an underlying problem that can lead to extensive decay and tooth loss over time.

2. Anemia and pale gums

Pale gums can be caused by anemia, commonly due to an iron deficiency. Some color variations exist between individuals, and we’re most concerned about swollen, ulcerative, or painful gums. But a follow-up with a physician can provide clear answers and peace of mind whenever changes appear that suggest underlying systemic causes.

3. Osteoporosis and tooth loss

The bone around your teeth provides the foundation that supports them. While it may be difficult to detect at home, dentists and hygienists may be the first to suspect a systemic change in bone density due to osteoporosis. Teeth that move more than average during an exam could provide an early clue to this progressive condition. We often recommend a bone density test with a physician in these cases.

4. Oral Thrush and HIV

We don’t expect to see oral thrush in patients with normal immunity unless they’re denture wearers. But as the virus weakens the immune system in HIV patients, they become more susceptible to thrush and other more severe infections. A general physical exam and blood tests can help provide answers.

5. Tooth Loss and kidney disease

Kidney disease can cause mouth sores, changes in taste, and dry mouth from xerostomia, a reduction in saliva production. When the mouth dries out, acidity increases, and the low pH may result in aggressive tooth decay and eventual tooth loss. Some research also shows that patients with gum disease have an increased risk of kidney disease, another two-way relationship between oral and systemic health.

A series of new studies by researchers at NYU College of Dentistry highlights how e-cigarettes alter oral health and may be contributing to gum disease. The latest, published in mBio, finds that e-cigarette users have a unique oral microbiome -- the community of bacteria and other microorganisms -- that is less healthy than nonsmokers but potentially healthier than cigarette smokers, and measures worsening gum disease over time.

At the University of Louisville, researchers have discovered details of how proteins produced by oral epithelial cells protect humans against viruses entering the body through the mouth. They also found that oral bacteria can suppress the activity of these cells, increasing vulnerability to infection.
