The oral cavity is the place where the human body and the outside world communicate, and there are many microorganisms. Its health is closely related to human health, so the monitoring and research of oral diseases is of great significance to the world's public health cause. At the same time, fluorescent probes are also popular in research in recent years, and significant progress has been made in the field of medicine. In this review, we will introduce the application of fluorescent probes in the oral medicine diseases.
