The researchers explained how depleting the healthy oral microbiome protects against bone loss in preclinical models.  It has become clear that reducing the burden of viruses, fungi, and bacteria in your mouth will limit the reaction that leads to Osteoclasts breaking down your jaw bone's health.
According to Dr. Novince "We were able to show that the commensal oral microbiota influences alveolar bone homeostasis through osteoimmune mechanisms that are distinct from the systemic microbiome.  "If we are able to suppress the healthy oral microbiome to lower levels, it could help protect from alveolar bone loss, even in a state of health."
As research continues it'll become more clear what types of microbes specifically lead to this immune reaction occurring that leads to bone loss.  For now, the best course of action is to suppress oral microorganisms with antiseptic oral rinses.  Healthline has rated the top 9 oral rinses for your mouth that you can see by clicking here:
