Drilling a cavity doesn’t solve tooth decay.

It removes the damaged part. But the environment that created it is still there. I agree with the idea that we need to look deeper. But the cause isn’t as simple as “one bad bacteria.” Streptococcus mutans is part of a normal oral microbiome. The problem begins when it’s constantly overfed with sugar, refined flour, or ultra-processed foods. Leading to more demineralisation and less ability to rebuild. That’s when cavities form. If you only focus on killing bacteria, you are missing the point. Or leave your questions below. Cheers, Dr. Dome
