Linda – The Probiotics Tooth Fairy

Tooth decay is generally defined as the destruction of tooth enamel. While consumption of sugar and other carbohydrates is usually blamed for tooth decay, it’s not the sugar itself that destroys tooth enamel. A common, harmful bacteria that resides in the mouth is actually to blame, with sugar and carbs as its accomplices.

Your mouth is home to hundreds of bacteria. Most of them are completely harmless, some are harmful, and others are beneficial. The harmful bacteria love to feast on sugar. It gives them fuel which allows them to multiply and gain a strong foot-hold in your mouth.
