WE MAINTAIN BEST ORAL HYGIENE! When our mouth is inflamed, our body is inflamed. And one of the most common causes of mouth inflammation is the bacterial infection of periodontitis. This is almost always the result of poor dental hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing and professional teeth cleanings can hold this source of inflammation at bay. Another common source of whole body inflammation is our diet. Certain foods, particularly highly processed convenience foods, can place an inflammatory load on our bodies. Among them: Large amounts of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pasta Processed and packaged foods that contain trans fats Vegetable oils that produce an imbalance of omega-6 Excessive intake of alcohol and preserved meats
