ORAL BIOFILM CAUSES DENTAL DISEASE, BUT NOT ONLY •   The bacteria in oral biofilm damage the teeth and the supporting structures such as the gums and bone that hold the teeth in place.

BIOFILM IS BAD Dental biofilm is insidious. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. You can’t feel it. But it is the main cause of tooth decay (caries), gum disease (periodontitis) and even tooth loss.

They thrive in your mouth and feed on the food you eat, especially sugar. Biofilm bacteria turn sugar into acids, which causes tooth decay. This mass of bacteria is oral biofilm (dental plaque). Biofilm grows...
