Abstract
As clinicians in oral medicine, it is imperative to appreciate our greatest foe-biofilms. It is equally important to have an understanding of the balance of biofilm and the microbiome of a host. As clinicians we need to comprehend the goal of our therapy and have the ability to communicate to our patients the intent and value of the therapy they receive. With a grasp of the behavior of biofilms and the new disease model, we have the ability to reframe how we treat disease.
