We do know today that bacteria found in periodontal disease, such as Prevotella intermedia and Fusobacterium, can be directly implicated in the development of cancer.

Periodontal disease is associated with aggressive bacterial flora and viral activity such as Epstein Barr (EBV) or cytomegalovirus (CMV). Mouth ulcers or cold sores indicate the presence of the herpes virus HSV1.

It is therefore vital to control the bacterial flora and contain the viral charge by cleaning up the periodontium.
