| Description: MOUTH MICROBES The human mouth hosts a panoply of microbes, some taking up residence on the mouth lining (blue) within days after birth. Harmful species form biofilms, like the plaque that encourages tooth decay, or colonize the crevices between teeth and gums, causing periodontal disease. Oral probiotics designed to boost the population of species that outcompete pathogenic ones could help prevent or reverse dental disease.
