Bacteria Of The Mouth...Actinomyces Yuck!







We have many bacteria in our mouths, 

which are wet and warm, and this helps 

to support and even give nourishment

Actinomyces are Gram-positive, rod shaped, 

facultative anerobes and are normally present 

in our gum tissues and are the most common 

cause of infection (abscesses) in dental procedures.




Next time!
