Flora of the mouth refers to the bacteria and other microorganisms that can and do live inside your mouth. There are literally hundreds of different species of microorganisms that live inside your mouth. Most are relatively harmless. Others have been implicated in a variety of health disorders. The two most common disease states that are attributed primarily to oral flora are dental caries (cavities) and periodontitis (gum disease). Other less common conditions are oral yeast infections and oral herpes. Oral flora are able to live and thrive in the mouth because the conditions are nearly ideal. The mouth is warm, dark, moist, and usually provides a good food supply to the flora. Most microorganisms live in the periodontal sulcus between the teeth and gums. Others can hide in the small pits and fissures of the teeth where it is difficult to remove them with a toothbrush.
