All of us have bacteria in our mouths, to be more precise somewhere between 10-20 billion at any one time depending on when you last brushed your teeth! This ecosystem of bacteria, also known as biofilm, comprised close to 1,000 different species of bacteria and in fact only a very small proportion of which are detrimental to our oral health.
