    This is followed by a rapid spread of the infection resulting in more general inflammation of the mouth and lips, facial edema, and foul breath. If untreated, within a few days the necrotizing infection progresses into the facial muscles, the skin, and the upper and lower jaw resulting in tissue destruction and sloughing.

  3. Mouth infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth_infection

    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.

  4. Bad breath - Wikipedia

    Approaches to improve bad breath may include physical or chemical means to decrease bacteria in the mouth, products to mask the smell, or chemicals to alter the odour creating molecules. [1] Many different interventions have been suggested and trialed such as toothpastes, mouthwashes, lasers, tongue scraping, and mouth rinses. [ 28 ]

    Bacteria in the biofilm community can actually generate various toxic compounds that interfere with the growth of other competing bacteria. [ citation needed ] S. mutans has over time developed strategies to successfully colonize and maintain a dominant presence in the oral cavity.

    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]

  7. Fusobacterium necrophorum - Wikipedia

    Although this infection is rare, researchers agree that this diagnosis should be considered in a septicaemic patient with thrombosis in an unusual site, and underlying malignancy should be excluded in cases of confirmed F. necrophorum occurring at sites caudal to the head. [10] The above statistical analysis is dated, necessarily.

    Rothia dentocariosa is a species of Gram-positive, round- to rod-shaped bacteria that is part of the normal community of microbes residing in the mouth and respiratory tract. [ 1 ] First isolated from dental caries , Rothia dentocariosa is largely benign, but does very rarely cause disease.
