I ask because we are nearing 2010! Greetings, I remember emailing Oragenics back in 2006 and they said very little; any word on these studies or perhaps estimates of when they’ll be concluding?

After having TWO cavities in my entire life, I just saw the dentist. I now have about 2 dozen cavities. My mouth looks like it has been totally neglected for years, which is not the case. This is not fair! I am 47 and have been menopausal for several years. After having TWO cavities in my entire life, I just saw the dentist. I now have about 2 dozen cavities.

Researchers have tested their experimental vaccines on adult patients, by first using antibiotics to clear the mouth of bacteria and allowing the vaccine to do its work. So while the primary vaccine targets will undoubtedly be children, I wouldn't be surprised to see versions for adults. Sorry for not responding earlier.

I had no cavities until age 32. There were 4-5 until menopause. Since menopause I have had multiple cavities per visit. I'd love the vaccine. Thanks! Susan Will this vaccine be available to adults?
