Most of these microscopic organisms are benign, and some are even beneficial, but one particular variety is a conspicuous troublemaker: <I>Streptococcus mutans</I>.  These ubiquitous bacteria thrive on sugars in the mouth, which they consume while excreting lactic acid.  This acid is responsible for the great majority of tooth decay in humankind because it erodes the enamel and dentin of the teeth. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=584"><P><DIV>A Florida-based company called Oragenics may have found a way to rid our mouths of these acid-excreting organisms for good.   This would make cavities a thing of the past, and put no small number of dentists out of business.  But despite the obvious benefits, there is potential for disaster.</DIV>
