Hopefully this ends up going somewhere. We've been hearing for decades how there's certain bacteria that nearly removes the requirement to brush your teeth regularly, but it never seems to reach the general public. Exciting times ahead if we can ultimately destroy the need for the dental care industry. In a few decades having to brush your teeth regularly will probably be regarded as an antiquated practice.
Yeah even if the bacterium magically took care of gum health, it would need to somehow be able to dissolve tartar (calcium phosphate) without dissolving teeth (also calcium phosphate).
