Its signs and symptoms include bleeding from gums, swollen gums, a loose tooth and sometimes foul oral smell. Fusobacterium, Lachnospiraceae, Lautropia, Prevotella oulorum, and Rothia dentocariosa are some harmful bacteria that cause dental and gum problems. 

Denture stomatitis: Denture stomatitis (also known as oral stomatitis) is a fungus (yeast) infection caused by candida. It's very normal to have some candida in your mouth.
