A plethora - 10 times as much. 300 types.
Much of Dr. Bowen's current work focuses on some of the more than 300 types of bacteria that make the human mouth a hotbed of microbes. When bacteria collect on teeth, they form a sticky film called dental plaque; when the bacteria come into contact with the sugars we all eat, they produce acid that destroys tooth enamel.

Adult's mouth contains enough bacteria under the tooth to kill someone.
