Highly associated with periodontal disease, causing infections in the gums and tooth roots. Relatives of this species cause or contribute to vaginal infections, and so B. endodontalis is flagged as a possible cause or contributor of vulvovaginal infections or dysbiosis. Bacteria that cause gum disease may survive in the vaginal mucosal environment given the right circumstances.
