摘要：
The present invention relates to a use of 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose for preventing dental caries. More specifically, 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose inhibits the growth of oral microorganisms and exhibits anti-caries activity to inhibit the production of acids caused by the consumption of a carbon source by the oral microorganisms. Thus, 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose can be used in pharmaceuticals, food products, oral hygiene preparations, etc. for preventing, ameliorating or treating oral diseases caused by oral microorganisms, such as dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, oral mucosal ulcer, halitosis or xerostomia.
