    In some people, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis — with the destruction of the gingival fibers, the gum tissues separate from the tooth and deepened sulcus, called a periodontal pocket. Subgingival microorganisms (those that exist under the gum line) colonize the periodontal pockets and cause further inflammation in the gum tissues and ...

    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.

    When this occurs, the resultant infection is known as gingivitis or periodontitis.
