Oral Biofilm

Oral biofilm is a thin, sticky layer composed of bacteria, food particles, and saliva that forms naturally on the teeth and gums. This community of microorganisms attaches to surfaces in the mouth, creating a protective environment where bacteria can thrive. If not regularly removed through brushing and flossing, the biofilm can lead to dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Regular oral hygiene practices are essential to control biofilm growth, maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
