Treponema Denticola, “Dental Spirochete”
* Periodontal Disease
* Sinus
* Can it Spread Beyond Oral Infection?
* Oral Bacteria Causing Heart Disease & Stroke
Like the Lyme spirochete, T. denticola is also a
spirochete.
T. denticola is an important cause of periodontal
disease (periodontal disease leads to bone loss &
tooth loss.) T. denticola is an anaerobic, gram-
negative “dental spirochete.” It has the potential to
disseminate beyond oral infections … but to what
physiological effect can it cause mayhem?
Would having T. denticola infection (and other
periodontal germ infections) help to wear down
our immune system, when we also need our
immune system to fight active Lyme & coinfections?
That makes horse sense, as does having periodontal
disease that can get worse, when we also have active
Lyme & coinfections wearing down our immune
system.
