“Oral bacteria” are the billions of
microorganisms that populate the oral
cavity.

Streptococci and staphylococci are two some of the
most widely known.

There are between 500 and 1,000 different
kinds of bacteria in our mouths.

The mouths of infants are actually free from bacteria when they are
first born; it is introduced through their mouths within
hours of birth by their mothers through the natural process of
kissing and food sharing.

Our saliva flush bad bacteria through our
mouth, which makes it harder for bacteria to
stick to the surfaces of our teeth.

Some foods can wash away bacteria from the teeth. Try
crunchy vegetables like celery and carrots to stimulate the gums.

Acidic fruits like apples wash the teeth clean by
increasing saliva production.

Smoking increases the risk of periodontal disease because tobacco supplements the growth of harmful oral bacteria while destroying good
bacteria.

Oral bacteria multiply every
4-5 hours.
That’s why it’s important to brush your teeth twice a day!
