As the master antioxidant, Glutathione is the most important redox regulator that controls inflammatory processes, including the inflammation that occurs in the mouth and around the teeth (the periodontium). Patients with periodontitis (gum infection) have lower antioxidant and reduced glutathione status. Proper oral hygiene is certainly important, but so too is supporting the internal glutathione system. The implications of dental health and its connection with a variety of conditions is far-reaching.
