Re: [DIYbio] Re: periodontosis

If you have an infection in your jaw, antibiotics would be the way to go!!

S. mutans is not going to be the bacteria causing periodontitus, it
would be something like P. gingivalis (a gram negative bacteria).
The best protection against S. mutans, besides

On the whole, for natural treatments against oral bacteria, perhaps
cranberry juice might be a good option? It has some natural sugars
that block colonization by bacteria, and was a treatment for GI
problems.

This treatment for S. mutans looks quite interesting:

Its a peptide that messes up the cytoplasmic membrane (specific to S.
mutans) and kills the cells quickly, but doesn't affect other microbes
so you could keep the other good bacteria around.
