What about the heredity factor?

it's present... About 10-15% of our patients have ZERO spirochetes in their mouths... some have ZERO bacteria in their mouths... and that without brushing or flossing. We have no idea how that happens or why.

Everyone else has them.

What is it about that minority... We don't even see DEAD bugs in their mouths! What sends the bugs running and screaming in fear from these people?

Swordmaker, I recently went to the dentist (I go infrequently due to not much $) and he did a little test to see bacteria level; he was sure I had a lot since I hadn’t had my teeth professionally cleaned in years. He was quite surprised at the test results and said the level was very low, and also not much plaque. But I have had crappy teeth my whole life.

How can someone have low bacteria but not good teeth?

(Picking your brain here - feel free to ignore since it’s a bit beyond the topic although I haven’t used toothpaste in years, maybe that’s why!)
