Description
Yuwei Deng and co-authors read saliva for signs of sleep teeth grinding in a 2023 study. Grinding is tied to the nervous system and can harm teeth and health more widely. The mouth-brain link through microbes is a fresh angle, so the team sampled twenty-two grinders and twenty-one controls.
Combined gene and chemical profiling found shifted mouth microbes and altered metabolites in grinders. One standout chemical tracked with lower levels of a common mouth bacterium. An immune signal ratio also shifted, and amino acid pathways ran hotter, including routes tied to nerve signaling. The authors say saliva could carry diagnostic clues for this condition and deepen the oral-brain story.
