ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOU HAVE LIVING MICROBIOMES IN YOUR BODY?

A microbiome is a community of many organisms so small we can’t see them with the human eye. You may have already heard about microorganisms at school, but they are important for digestion, germ protection, and even to produce nutrients that our bodies need to survive. Even though they may seem gross, they play a critical role in our bodies’ survival.

It is estimated that your mouth contains up to 700 different microorganisms. Some of these are good – they protect you from infection and help break down the food you eat. Others, on the other hand, can cause cavities, gum disease and other infections. Good bacteria in your mouth also help to fight the bad bacteria.

It is possible for the bad bacteria to outnumber the good bacteria and spread to your gums and teeth, causing a sticky surface known as biofilm, or dental plaque.

Here are some of the worst organisms that live in your mouth and how to prevent them:

Mutans streptococcus‍

One of the most infamous bacteria that can cause cavities is Streptococcus mutans.

S. Mutans prefers to hide in the tiny cracks and holes in your teeth and destroy the enamel (the hard, outer layer that protects your teeth). Once they get through the enamel, decay and infection can spread rapidly. The decay can reach the root and cause severe pain if left untreated. If left untreated, the tooth will be lost.

Keeping your mouth healthy is as simple as brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes. It will get rid of S. Mutans and other harmful organisms that live in biofilm.

Actinomycetemcomitans Aggregatibacter

As its name is quite a mouthful, we’ll call it Aggie. Aggie is known for its aggressive attack and is responsible for periodontitis in children. It can also cause bone loss underneath the gums.

PERIODONTITIS: WHAT IS IT?

If you don’t take care of your gums, over time, your teeth will become loose and fall out. Periodontitis means “gum disease” or an infection of the pink, soft tissue that holds your teeth in place.

Primary teeth fall out to make way for adult teeth, but if your baby teeth fall out because of tooth decay or gum disease, it can cause serious problems.

An early loss of baby teeth can also mess up the spacing of your teeth and may require braces to correct crooked teeth later on.

You could also lose your adult teeth if infection spreads to the tissue under your gums and destroys it!

When you brush or floss, your gums may bleed, an early sign of gum disease.

When you floss, you remove the biofilm that hides between your teeth and just below the gum line. You should floss every day, along with brushing your teeth.

HALITOSIS: WHAT IS IT?

Have you ever noticed that when food sits in the trash for a few days before the can is emptied and taken outside, it can get pretty stinky? Food in the trash is eaten by microscopic organisms (bacteria and fungus too small to see without a microscope!) This process creates an unpleasant odor. A similar occurrence occurs when tiny bits of food remain in your mouth for too long. People may say, “Eww! You have bad breath!”

The following two causes of stinky breath can be solved with good oral hygiene:

We already know how to prevent cavities and gum disease by brushing and flossing every day to prevent biofilm from forming on our teeth and below the gum line.

A second cause of bad breath is the tongue and cheeks. Your tongue has ridges and bumps, which provide plenty of places for food and bacteria to hide, resulting in bad breath. When brushing each day, take a little extra time to brush your tongue or use a tongue scraper to clean out all the bumps and ridges. To ensure all soft parts of your mouth are clean, try using a mouthwash or rinse.

Your breath still stinks even after brushing, flossing, and cleaning your tongue, talk to your dentist or doctor to make sure you don’t have another health condition causing it.
