Oral probiotics are a type of beneficial bacteria that can often be found in dried tablet form among others. Digesting these bacteria can be an overall positive for your gut microbiome, which in turn can be a benefit for bodily health at large. This can oftentimes provide positive returns for your oral health.
Bacteria within the mouth are particularly affected by oral probiotics. Paired with good oral hygiene and healthy habits, oral probiotics can be a huge benefit to one’s oral biome as well. It is important to note that acidic food and drinks negatively affect good probiotic bacteria, however.
Healthy bacteria within your oral ecosystem keeps teeth whiter by defending against plaque. Gums may also see a great benefit from good bacteria being introduced into your mouth’s ecosystem. With these health factors combined, fresh breath becomes easier to achieve.
In the words of e.s.i Healthy Dentistry’s Dr. K:
“Oral probiotics are freeze-dried harmless bacteria in the 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 may seem like a catch-all, but the reality is that oral probiotics 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.
