Most of the harmful bacteria in our mouth hates oxygen. Saliva is rich in oxygen so it naturally prevents bacteria from breeding out of control and causing infections and gum disease. Saliva also is loaded with special enzymes that combat the harmful bacteria. So, a mouth loaded with saliva is most likely low on harmful bacteria. Just as a mouth rich in saliva will naturally help keep harmful bacteria at bay, a dry mouth is fertile ground and will lead to periodontal problems unless corrected immediately.
