Our mouth is Home to over 500 types of oral bacteria. Of the 500 species BPB (Black Pigmented Bacteria or  Porphyromonas gingivalis ) is the most common culprit for causing gum disease.

Periodontal Disease in Adults (NIH)

“The prevalence of periodontal (gum) disease continues to be an important public health problem in the United States as 2 in 5 adults are affected by some form of this disease.”

Large study links gum disease with dementia

A recent analysis led by NIA scientists suggests that bacteria that cause gum disease are also associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia, especially vascular dementia. The results were reported in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

“The analysis revealed that older adults with signs of gum disease and mouth infections at baseline were more likely to develop Alzheimer’s during the study period. Among those 65 years or older, both Alzheimer’s diagnoses and deaths were associated with antibodies against the oral bacterium P. gingivalis, which can cluster with other bacteria such as Campylobacter rectus and Prevotella melaninogenica to further increase those risks.
