I understand and can see how terrain are the risk factors leading to disease and the microbes turn up to clear the damage- my experience that bacterial load can then overwhelm the patient: certainly in my many years experience as a dental surgeon in many settings there is a definite place for anti microbials?!not in place of debridement, pus evacuation , correct hydration etc but in some cases as an adjunct if it looks like despite these measures , without antibiotics the disease is threatening to overwhelm the patient.. maybe I’m missing something
