Poor oral health impacts all other aspects of your health, from physical to mental, says Dr. Kami Hoss, a dentist and author of the book, "If Your Mouth Could Talk." The biggest mistakes people make when taking care of their teeth include using harsh oral care products that contain alcohol and other ingredients that can change the oral microbiome, which took millions of years to evolve, Hoss noted. He was especially horrified by antiseptic mouthwash, which kills 99% of everything, as advertised, and leaves behind "the baddest, toughest, roughest little microbes around — poised to recolonize that entire mouth, totally unchecked by the organisms that used to hold them at bay," he writes in his book.
