What Bacteria Does to Your Oral Health

Gum disease (gingivitis) and bone disease (periodontists) are inflammatory processes in the tissues around your teeth caused by the body’s response to local bacteria. The bacterium is present as a biofilm that causes an immuno-inflammatory process which can lead to gingivitis which in turn can lead to bone loss around teeth.

The type of bacteria is gram negative anaerobes and by causing irritation and infections around your gums, this destructive inflammation is caused.

This can affect the rest of the body because these bacteria and the toxins produced can spread through the body via the bloodstream and cause this inflammatory process in other areas and organs.
