The human oral cavity is home to startling number of different strains of bacteria and microbes, not to mention the enzymes that deal with them. There are also trace amounts of fungus in the mouth, and every once in a while, especially when the immune system is over taxed, these funguses can start to proliferate extensively, and cause a fungal infection in the mouth.
In our first segment, we showed you 10 dental myths and their refutations.

The list was far from complete though, and this week we are going to expose another 10 ridiculous dental misunderstandings that are prevalent.
