01Fungi or new risk of tooth decay

According to Xinhua News Agency, a recent study in Japan has found that the commonly found fungal fungus Candida in the oral cavity, like other pathogens that cause dental caries, can also use sugar to produce acid in hypoxic environments. Moreover, compared to bacteria, Candida's acid production process is almost not inhibited by fluoride.


The traditional method of preventing and treating tooth decay mainly uses fluoride to inhibit bacterial acid production, and this study suggests that fungi may be a new risk factor for tooth decay. Future research on tooth decay prevention should also include oral microbiota such as Candida.
