The Filan Cabinet
An interview podcast where I, Daniel Filan, interview guests about topics I'm interested in, with the aim of clarifying how the guest understands that topic.
Episode 13 - Aaron Silverbook on anti-cavity bacteria
In this episode, I speak with Aaron Silverbook about the bacteria that cause cavities, and how different bacteria can prevent them: specifically, a type of bacterium that you can buy at luminaprobiotic.com. This podcast episode has not been approved by the FDA. Specific topics we talk about include:
- How do bacteria cause cavities?
- How can you create an anti-cavity bacterium?
- What’s going on with the competitive landscape of mouth bacteria?
- How dangerous is it to colonize your mouth with a novel bacterium?
- Why hasn’t this product been available for 20 years already?
Lumina Probiotic (the brand name of this new type of bacterium)
