Further, use of antibacterial agents or the like involves a high risk of resistant bacteria emergence, and thus it is not preferable. Thus, there remains a need for the development of a safer and more effective method for suppressing dental caries by regulating biofilm formation caused by dental caries causative bacteria instead of controlling the dental caries causative bacteria.
