Your mouth might just be the missing piece in your clear skin journey. The oral microbiome (the tiny ecosystem living in your mouth) sets the tone for your gut health, hormones, and acne. Biological dentist Dr. Toni Engram joins to share how fluoride, mouthwash, and even your toothpaste could be throwing off your microbiome and keeping your skin stuck in breakout mode.
If you’ve been healing your gut but still seeing acne, this conversation is your lightbulb moment. From gum inflammation and bacterial balance to the oral care swaps that actually support clear skin, you’ll learn how a healthy mouth really can mean a happy gut and glowing skin.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How the oral microbiome impacts gut health, hormones, and acne.
- The hidden connection between gum inflammation and chronic breakouts.
- Why traditional mouthwash and toothpaste can disrupt your skin’s healing.
- How to switch to non-toxic oral care that supports the skin-gut connection.
- Everyday habits that keep your microbiome balanced for long-term glow.
