Oral infection is a generalized term for a group of multiple infections occurring within your oral cavity. They can be of a dental origin (arising from your tooth) or a non-dental source (arising from other soft tissues). Viruses, bacteria, or fungi can cause these infections. In the majority of the cases, the basic problem that leads to oral infections is poor maintenance of oral hygiene. As plaque formation continues to build up around your teeth and on your tongue surface, the risk of damage to teeth and soft tissues increases. This can lead to severe complications if left untreated.
