Given the natural history of a mouth infection, the vast majority of clinically-treated oral infections are polymicrobial, or caused by multiple different species of bacteria at the same time. [9] Until the source of the infection is controlled with some form of drainage and antibiotics, a mouth infection will likely not resolve on its own.
The term waterborne disease is reserved largely for infections that predominantly are transmitted through contact with or consumption of microbially polluted water.Many infections may be transmitted by microbes or parasites that accidentally, possibly as a result of exceptional circumstances, have entered the water.
More than 800 species of bacteria colonize oral mucus, 1,300 species are found in the gingival crevice, and nearly 1,000 species comprise dental plaque. The mouth is a rich environment for hundreds of species of bacteria since saliva is mostly water and plenty of nutrients pass through the mouth each day.

A member of the human microbiome, Eikenella corrodens is a commensal bacterial species found in the mouth and upper respiratory tract.It is an unusual cause of infection and when it is cultured, it is most usually found mixed with other organisms.
Ludwig's angina (Latin: Angina ludovici) is a type of severe cellulitis involving the floor of the mouth [2] and is often caused by bacterial sources. [1] Early in the infection, the floor of the mouth raises due to swelling, leading to difficulty swallowing saliva. As a result, patients may present with drooling and difficulty speaking. [3]

When this occurs, the resultant infection is known as gingivitis or periodontitis. Periodontal disease, which an infection of the gum tissue driven primarily by P. gingivalis, has been theorized to be linked with other systemic diseases, including Alzheimer’s, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
