Warning Signs for Parkinson’s Could be Found in the Mouth

Researchers identified toxins released by these bacteria that can damage gut tissue, promote inflammation, and potentially affect the brain, suggesting these toxins could be used as markers to identify Parkinson's patients at higher risk of developing dementia. The study indicates that maintaining oral and gut health through consistent oral care, a balanced diet, and targeted probiotic interventions could improve disease management in Parkinson's, potentially slowing neurodegenerative processes.
