Well, bacteria by itself, you know, it's really harmful, and it depends, you know, where it's growing.

Specifically in our oral cavity, when we have a extreme load of the bacteria, it not only can affect our gums and our teeth, but also it affects, you know, the rest of the body.

So it is systemic.

So when our mouth is not healthy, when the gums are inflamed, those bacteria, they don't stay in our mouth.

They travel throughout our body through the bloodstream.

So during pregnancy specifically, hormones are constantly fluctuating.
