Scientists at the University of Minnesota have shown that disrupting how oral bacteria communicate can shift dental plaque toward communities associated with better oral health, potentially opening the door to new ways of preventing gum disease without wiping out beneficial microbes.
A clinical study shows that arginine, a natural amino acid, can reduce acidity in dental biofilms and alter their structure to protect against cavities. Researchers at Aarhus University tested the treatment on participants with active tooth decay, finding promising results after four days. The findings suggest arginine could enhance cavity-prevention products like toothpaste.
