Recently published research has revealed the precise mechanisms key pathogens use to suppress the host's immune system, creating several chronic systemic illnesses. Indeed, key oral pathogens are now documented to be the initiators of a new axis of disease. With oral dysbiosis comes eventual gut dysbiosis, leading to a “leaky” gut and a faulty blood-brain barrier. The connection has been well defined between these key pathogens and metabolic syndrome, premature birth, miscarriages, atherosclerosis, inflammatory Alzheimer's, and cancer. Fortunately, we have an armamentarium of prebiotics and probiotics to help healthcare professionals restore eubiosis! Additionally, early diagnosis and correction of mouth breathing can also benefit the oral microbiome and facial development. Impressive new research into the many benefits of prebiotics, especially xylitol, will be presented. The surprising effect of xylitol inhibiting cancer cell lines is truly encouraging and will be discussed. ------------- Held in partnership with ACDE and 37 member dental schools as part of the 2025 Joint Provider Live Webinar Series.
