Bad bacteria can crowd out the good ones. They can take over sites that are normally populated by a healthy flora. And I think that's one of the sort of complexities of what goes on in your mouth. And as I said already, we put an awful lot of things in our mouth that there's a lot of insults to the tissues in the mouth, perhaps more so than any other part of your body. 

 

Lots of different chemicals, lots of different microbes. So maintaining a healthy flora and stopping the bad ones from taking over those receptor sites, getting rid of them is always advantageous. The normal flora will flourish right back and bind to receptor sites and to tissues in the way they normally should.
