Where does bacteria come from after we brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash every crevice in our mouths?
In: Biology
Quite literally anywhere. It’s open season! Competition is low. The tongue is a sponge and you would be very hard pressed to sterilize that. Under the gums between the teeth is a good hiding spot. In your nasal cavity and throat(lugies and draining). On your lips. Inside the glands. On your bed. In a cavity. The list goes on.
You would need to mouthwash until your flesh started dieing or you got drunk off absorbed alcohol to get a decent mouth sterilization and all those outside the mouth sources… It’s a good thing the persistent bacteria is usually friendly enough.
