Mucus and your teeth
Mucus contains proteins that have been shown to have a protective effect on the teeth by preventing the detrimental impact of oral bacteria.
Key takeaways
– Mucus is found in the linings of the body such as the lungs, mouth and cervix
– Recent research has suggested that synthetic mucus could be added to toothpaste and chewing gum to improve oral health
– See your dentist if you have any concerns about your dental health
“While toothpaste and mouthwash kill bacteria, mucus prevents the bacteria itself from attaching to teeth and causing holes in the enamel.”

Dr. Kishanie Wijesinghe Little BDSDr. Kishanie Little is passionate about delivering excellent dentistry and dental restorations that are life-like and indistinguishable from natural teeth. She believes that restorations (fillings/crowns/veneers) should look beautiful – and that they should last. Dr. Little keeps abreast of new developments in restorative dentistry through post-graduate training.
Dr. Little is also an experienced Facial Aesthetistician, including Botulinum toxins (such as Botox) and Dermafillers. She appreciates how simple and subtle changes to smooth and relax muscles can “freshen” a face, to look younger.
In her personal time, she loves to cook, read, run, practice yoga and pilates, play a bad game of tennis and am now learning to play golf. She loves Art and Theatre and support the Tate Modern. She also enjoys writing and has a book in the works.
