Dental 4 Less, Saliva protects teeth against cavities more than we thought

Salivary mucins do more than just provide a physical barrier against bacteria that cause cavities – they keep them in suspension and stop them forming biofilms on teeth.

Previously it was thought that salivary mucins – large glycoproteins – did little more than keep mucus in saliva slippery and elastic, contributing to its gel-like properties. But now it seems they play an active role in defending against pathogens and keeping the human microbiome healthy.
