On the surface of teeth, gums, implants, dentures, and orthodontics, is a colony of biofilm or biofilm microorganisms (bacteria).  It is a separate ecosystem capable of reproduction that forms a coherent coating.    Bacteria are embedded in mucus, a polymeric substance produced by bacteria. The biofilm’s mucus sticks rather strongly to the surfaces and is difficult to remove.

If the oral cavity is free of inflammation and active tooth decay, each person has their own unique flora of helpful microorganisms. All of these organisms are microbes. In a healthy microbiome, there are no or very few germination bacteria. In addition to effective brushing practices, the natural self-defense and self-cleansing of the mouth cavity maintains this “bacterial combination” steady.

By the way, this “mix” is as individual as a fingerprint and generally shields the host against infection from the outside world! 

If, for some reason, the plaque adhering to the surface of the tooth grows too thick, the bacteria that produce acids at the depth of the biofilm will multiply too much and take over, As a result, harmful substances accumulate, the pH of which can destroy the enamel or may cause gingivitis.

Healthy teeth – healthy immune system – non-inflammatory oral cavity

Maintaining professional oral hygiene is important for more than just the beauty and aesthetics of your smile and the health of your teeth. It’s much more than that!

Bacteria that induce inflammation in the mouth can not only create issues in the mouth, but can also enter the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the gums, spreading throughout the body and contributing to heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, as well as diabetes. Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the most dangerous of these bacteria. It is a common resident of the oral biofilm with low germ counts, but if it overgrows, it can cause life-threatening illnesses throughout the body.

Because beneficial and pathogenic bacteria compete for survival, completely removing harmful biofilm is the only way to reestablish a healthy “bacterial balance,” which is critical for the oral cavity’s long-term health.

According to the most recent scientific studies, the most crucial step in avoiding these illnesses is to remove dangerous biofilm from the oral cavity!
