Researchers have identified a promising approach to prevent gum disease by supporting beneficial oral bacteria instead of ...

Scientists are discovering more and more associations between poor oral health and everything from heart disease to dementia. But can flossing and brushing properly guarantee a longer life?

"The findings provide strong evidence that FP 100 could be a game-changer in the treatment of severe gum disease," said Matt Tindall, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flightpath Biosciences, ...

More than bad breath, there is growing evidence that ongoing inflammation in the mouth, like with gum disease, is associated with serious diseases such as Alzheimer's disease or type 2 diabetes. Now, ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising way to influence the bacteria living in our mouths — not by killing them, but by interrupting how they “talk” to each other. Researchers found that dental plaque ...

Researchers studying mouth bacteria say blocking the chemical signals microbes use to “communicate” could help prevent gum disease while preserving the healthy bacteria the body needs.

Researchers have developed a protein-infused chewing gum that can neutralize up to 99% of cancer-linked microbes in the mouth ...

Periodontitis is widespread and can have serious consequences for overall health. Researchers at Fraunhofer have identified a substance that selectively inhibits only those bacteria that cause ...

Is there a link between gum disease and Alzheimer's disease? In a 2020 analysis led by the National Institute on Aging, (NIA), scientists suggest that bacteria that cause gum disease are also ...

Most people see bleeding gums as a dental issue—something caused by brushing too hard, skipping flossing, or mild gum ...

Adults with periodontitis transmit bacteria that can cause the disease in future to their children, and the bacteria remain in the oral cavity even when the children undergo treatment of various kinds ...
