An imbalance in the oral microbiome, known as oral dysbiosis, is primarily driven by high levels of certain harmful bacteria—specifically Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, and Fusobacterium nucleatum. Targeting and reducing these five key bacterial species makes it possible to slow down, stop, or even reverse the progression of related diseases.
Aa, Pg, Tf, Td, and Fn are the primary culprits behind oral dysbiosis. When left untreated, the imbalances caused by these bacteria can create conditions conducive to disease development. Addressing these bacterial imbalances is crucial for preventing the progression of oral health issues such as:
Infectious and inflammatory diseases are best treated by targeting their root causes. In biofilm-related infections like strep throat, sinusitis, lung infections, skin infections, or urinary tract infections, multiple microorganisms may exist within the biofilm.
However, research and antimicrobial treatments focus on eliminating the specific pathogens responsible for the disease rather than the entire microbial community. By addressing the primary pathogen, disease progression can be stopped or reversed. With the right treatment, these diseases can be effectively cured.
