Luvbiotics Brand Ambassador Dr Maria Papavergos Highlights the Importance of Balancing the Oral Microbiome
As part of National Smile Month, Luvbiotics Brand Ambassador Dr Maria Papavergos is helping to shine a light on a topic that is transforming the way we think about oral care: the importance of balancing the oral microbiome.
In this featured article, Dr Maria explains that while many people are familiar with supporting “good bacteria” for gut health, fewer realise that the mouth is also home to a complex and dynamic microbial community. In fact, over 700 species of micro-organisms live on our teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Together, they form what is known as the oral microbiome.
Dr Maria emphasises that not all bacteria are harmful. Many are beneficial and play an essential role in maintaining oral health and supporting overall wellbeing. Problems arise when this delicate ecosystem becomes unbalanced — allowing harmful bacteria to dominate and potentially contribute to issues such as bad breath, gum concerns and other oral health challenges.
In the article, she highlights the importance of:
- Maintaining a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria
- Adopting a consistent and effective oral care routine
- Understanding the connection between oral health and whole-body health
At Luvbiotics, this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. Our innovative oral care approach focuses on supporting and rebalancing the oral microbiome, rather than simply eliminating bacteria indiscriminately. By working in harmony with the mouth’s natural ecosystem, we aim to promote healthier smiles and better overall wellbeing.
We are proud to see Dr Maria sharing this important message and helping to educate the public on why microbiome-friendly oral care matters.
