The normal human oral microbiome is not just one or a handful of different bacteria species; there are dozens of different species that contribute to the top 98% of oral microbiome biomass, and hundreds if not thousands of smaller-niche oral microorganism species in the remaining 2%. Eradication is impossible, and would be detrimental to health even if it were possible; the oral microbiome is necessary for biological homeostasis, immune regulation, and subtle but crucial digestive channels.
E.g. certain Neisseria and Rothia oral microorganisms are crucial for extracting nitric oxide from food. Nitric oxide, in turn, is essential for regulating blood pressure; studies involving strong mouthwashes that suppress those organisms were show to temporarily raise blood pressure. And that's just one thread in the oral microbiome/digestion tapestry.
That said, some oral bacteria species could be a net world-health benefit if globally eradicated:
- Porphyromonas gingivalis: Immune system hijacker, causes inflammation that weakens bone, tissue
- Streptococcus mutans: converts sugar to acid; primary driver of cavities)
- Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia: aggravate gum disease; rarely found in healthy mouths
The risk of any world-health selective oral bacteria eradication program would be other bacteria moving in to fill the ecological void. For example, we don't know if S.mutans has a hidden upside of overwhelming and suppressing harder-to-treat bacteria in its niche.
