What is oral sepsis?

Question

Please give a professional answer, i.e., as a dentist.

Answer 1

Sepsis is a condition in which your body is fighting a severe infection. If you become "septic," you will likely be in a state of low blood pressure termed "shock." This condition can develop either as a result of your body’s own defense system or from toxic substances made by the infecting agent (such as a bacteria, virus, or fungus). So you must have a bad infection in your mouth.

Answer 2

tough question. Gingivitis is a biofilm from plaque or other bacteria (bacteria LOVE to form biofilms) around the gums, causing them to become swollen. Oral sepsis is bacteria or other infestation of pathogens in the mouth. They are separate, usually because gingivitis is usually due to either bad hygiene, or just presucceptable. Oral sepsis does not necessarily stem from the mouth, but may of come from a pathogen attack in other parts of the body, i.e. stomach virus, or a cut on the leg in who's attack radius traveled throughout the body. They are not the same. HOWEVER, i would suppose, that a big enough cut or abrasion in the mouth could give your oral sepsis from the bacteria from gingivitis. I don't that that happens too often, however, but i wouldn't rule that out. Either way, antibiotics and brushing with some peroxide (or rinsing with) should help. Which is worse? Well, that is kind of up to you. They both are not good. For short term, i'd say oral sepsis should be the worser, however, over long term, eh. That's tough. Oral sepsis can travel and infect the system. Gingivitis will make a mess of your mouth eventually. So, ok, oral sepsis would be worse, teeth can be replaced/fixed. Tough, huh?
