Stopping Gum Disease By Preventing Bacteria.
A study published in the journal Microbiology states that stripping some mouth bacteria of their access key to gangs of other pathogenic oral bacteria could help prevent gum disease and tooth loss. Treponema denticola frequently gangs up in communities with other pathogenic oral bacteria to produce harmful dental plaque. The study suggests that this bacterial access key could be a drug target for people at high risk of developing gum disease.
