Researchers found that newly married couples sharing mental health issues, which is caused by a shift in the oral microflora and its impact is more on the female partner compared to the male.
Though more studies are needed to prove the connection between oral microflora causing mental health issues, it reminds me that “Oral health is overall health.”

A smile cures the wounding of a frown. 
There is no direct evidence that depression, anxiety, or insomnia are transmissible via oral bacteria between couples, but:
- Oral and gut bacteria do influence mental health.
- Close couples do share bacteria.
- Mental health symptoms can spread through emotional and behavioral factors.
So, while the idea is fascinating and partially biologically plausible, it remains theoretical and requires more research.
Oral health is overlooked in many many cases when it should be a priority since it reflects our a person’s overall wellbeing!

That’s a really interesting point!! It’s amazing how something like oral microflora which we don’t usually think about, could have such a deep connection to mental health and even more so within close relationships like marriage. It really does highlight how everything in the body is connected.
It’s a great reminder that taking care of our oral health isn’t just about teeth, it’s about our whole well-being.
