Researchers have broken ground by discovering the enzyme that allows bacteria that causes plaque to adhere to teeth. Studies have found that the enzyme glucansucrase is responsible for the ability of bacteria to adhere to teeth that may spur a development of inhibitors to battle it’s production. Block that particular enzyme and you get a mouth free of decay causing bacteria thus a healthier smile.
Added to anything from toothpaste, sweets and just about anything that is known to cause tooth decay and you have the sweet tooth without the cavities to match. Though it may signal an end to tooth decay, oral health should still be a priority.
