Examples of the sorts of bugs that can be found in the mouth.
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and similar related species cause tooth decay. The bacteria digest the sugars and starches in foods and produce acids which dissolve tooth enamel.
Porphyromonas gingivalis are associated with periodontal (gum) diseases.
