The oral microbiome is established within a few minutes after birth and consists of stable multi-species communities that engage in a dynamic equilibrium with the host immune system. Dental caries, endodontic infections, and periodontal diseases are bacterially driven diseases caused by dysbiotic microbiomes.
Long-term exposure to periodontal disease bacteria causes inflammation and degeneration of brain neurons in mice, similar to the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in humans, according to new research from the University of Illinois at Chicago
Periodontitis is a dysbiotic inflammatory disease with an adverse impact on systemic health. New studies highlight how dysbiotic oral microbial communities can cause inflammatory issues both locally and throughout the body.
More than one-third of all cancer patients develop complications that affect the mouth, including sores, infections, dry mouth, sensitive gums, and jaw pain, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
