In this episode, I speak with Aaron Silverbook about the bacteria that cause cavities, and how different bacteria can prevent them: specifically, a type of bacterium that you can buy at luminaprobiotic.com. This podcast episode has not been approved by the FDA. Specific topics we talk about include:

• How do bacteria cause cavities?
• How can you create an anti-cavity bacterium?
• What's going on with the competitive landscape of mouth bacteria?
• How dangerous is it to colonize your mouth with a novel bacterium?
• Why hasn't this product been available for 20 years already?
