What is the Deal with Oral Probiotics?
By The Wave Agency
Oral probiotics are a harmless bacteria that are typically put into a dry tablet-based form. Ingesting oral probiotics and digesting these bacteria allows for your gut biome to have an overall boost in health, propagating good bacteria that competes with the bad. This ultimately balances the gut when enough good bacteria are present, and can have positive health effects throughout your body.
Oral probiotics also have a strong effect on the health of mouth bacteria, and in this way they are able to restore your oral ecosystem when paired with proper oral hygiene and the avoidance of acidic foods and drinks.
Strong, healthy bacteria in your oral ecosystem allows for whiter teeth, stronger defense against plaque, and sturdier gums as well. Not only this, but with these health factors combined fresh, clean breath is easier to achieve.
Probiotics have been linked to teeth health for some time now, as when one restores the bacterial ecosystems of their body, the good bacteria in turn provide proper balance and protection against bad bacteria, tooth decay, gingivitis, and other ailments.
In the words of e.s.i Healthy Dentistry’s Dr. K:
“Oral probiotics are freeze-dried harmless bacteria in a form of a tablet. There are billions of them in one tab and need to be refrigerated to ensure that all of the strains are viable.They are harmless bacteria that compete for the same nutrients that harmful bacteria utilize, thereby balancing out the oral micro biome.This biological approach restores the oral ecosystem and ensures harmony among the normal microorganisms in the mouth which results in strong, white teeth, cavity prevention, fresh breath and healthy gums.”
Probiotics can be a great way to provide an overall boost to your gum health, but should not be considered the only way to keep your teeth happy and healthy. For all of your oral hygiene needs. Regular brushing and flossing, as well as other positive habits can work in tandem with probiotics in order for you to find your best smile.
