The body has a natural defense against periodontal gum disease-human saliva. The harmful bacteria in our mouths do not thrive in well-oxygenated environments. Human saliva, however, is rich in oxygen and that is why it helps keep the harmful bacteria populations under control. Keepimg your mouth well salivated entails you to drink adequate amount of water to keep the mouth well hydrated. Saliva is the best defense against bad bacteria that dwells in the mouth aside from proper oral hygiene like brushing and flossing.
