The mouth is an ecosystem full of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and protozoa. Although this ecosystem contains many different microbes, in this podcast episode, I’ll be focusing on bacteria. The human mouth is home to hundreds of bacterial species. But what role do they play in tooth decay? And how can we prevent it?

In this episode, you will learn about…

  • The oral microbiota: a microbial ecosystem in the mouth
  • How what we eat affects our dental health
  • How brushing your teeth helps prevent cavities
  • What dental cleanings do to help prevent tooth decay
  • Practical tips for dental health
