The Four Pillars of The Lagom Method™
-
Pay attention to when and how you eat, as well as what you eat, for better oral health. Frequent snacking may not allow enough time for your saliva to naturally clean your mouth, increasing the risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease.
-
Sleeping with an open mouth can cause dry mouth, reducing saliva production, potentially leading to harmful bacteria overgrowth, bad breath, gum disease, or cavities, thus disrupting overall oral health.
-
Paying attention to how we breathe is the best way to improve our health and happiness. We breathe in and out about 22,000 times a day, so it's important to think about it for a few minutes.
-
Move your body and live a more active lifestyle to optimize your oral and overall health. No matter your level of physical ability, you can find ways to move and live a more active lifestyle
