Research
On this page you can dive into what global experts are discovering about the mouth–body connection. Mouth health is now recognised as one of the most important foundations of overall wellbeing. Why? Because everything our bodies rely on begins here. We breathe through the mouth. We eat through the mouth. And the microbes that protect our entire system stand guard in the mouth.
Today, scientific research clearly supports how strongly oral health is linked to gut health, immune health, mental wellbeing and long-term systemic health. The millions of dollars and years of laboratory research dedicated to this field are gathered here — continuously updated as new insights and evidence emerge.
