Show Notes
On this week's episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition your host, Katrina Sanders, RDH takes us through red complex bacteria!
Quotes:
"These red complex bacteria are Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, and the Regina George of red complex bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis."
"It is believed that once these bacteria are present, that the body is in a complete state of oral inflammatory conditions and this is where we begin to see periodontal disease truly manifest."
