In this new episode of Mind Your Mouth, Dr. Maria Florou uncovers the overlooked connection between oral health and reproductive wellbeing, diving deep into how gum disease and oral bacteria can impact fertility, sexual performance, and pregnancy outcomes.
She reveals how chronic inflammation in the mouth can disrupt hormone balance, reduce sperm quality, and increase risks like pre-eclampsia and stillbirth. You’ll learn how the oral microbiome influences both male and female reproductive health, and why treating both partners is essential to avoid recontamination and improve success rates.
Dr. Florou also explores the role of nitric oxide, key pathogenic bacteria, immune response, and the latest integrative therapies, from microbiome testing to laser and ozone treatments. Whether you're trying to conceive or simply want to optimise your health, this episode delivers practical, science-backed insights that go far beyond brushing and flossing.
