The Problem
Ordinary s mutans bacteria secrete lactic acid onto the teeth
Streptococcus Mutans metabolizes glucose (sugar) on our teeth.
This process forms by-products such as lactic acid.
Lactic acid erodes enamel over time, causing issues.
Degrading enamel, and imbalances in the oral microbiome, can cause significant problems.
Our Solution
Strategic Modification
Lumina delivers a genetically modified strain of s. mutans, which avoids lactic acid production.
Studies suggest that a one-time application of this strain will change the oral microbiome.
Lumina is applied to the teeth and displaces the native S. Mutans strain
Low levels of acid in byproducts improves your oral microbiome
