Talk:Dental Plaque Biofilms

Comment 1, by Anthony Alexander

I read your page on Dental Plaque Biofilms because I am interested in the dental profession and have been exposed to many of these subject areas as the son of two dentists. I found your project/page to be very interesting and informative about biofilm communication and formation. I found the information about the relationship between P. gingivalis and S. cristatus to be particularly interesting. Is there any insight as to how the prevention of P. gingivalis formation/development by S. cristatus is desirable for S. cristatus? My only concern about your page is that I feel as though it was directed towards a more educated audience, thus defining some of the terms you use my be helpful in clarifying the subject matter for a potentially less educated reader with regard to dental health. Again, I enjoyed the page and felt as though it was put together clearly and coherently. It was nice to see how you connected all the research areas together. I also enjoyed some of your facts in the introduction (average adult in USA has 10-17 decayed, filled or missing teeth) think of how high it is in other countries (scary). Good job.
