Interview: Domenick T. Zero, DDS, professor and chair of preventive dentistry
Indiana University School of Dentistry



Consider this: when you take a lick of your kid’s ice cream cone, you leave behind bacteria, little germs that can actually spread cavities.

Dental researcher Dominic Zero, DDS, will discuss the types of bacteria that naturally live in our mouths. Dr. Zero is professor and chair of preventive dentistry and associate dean for research at the Indiana University School of Dentistry.
