Oral Probiotics - Do They Work?

 That's right! Many people don't know that probiotics are not just for gut health. They can help to keep your mouth healthy too!

Here are some ways the benefits of oral probiotics:

• Helps prevent Plaque 
• Helps fight bad breath
• May prevent oral cancer
• Helps manage symptoms of Gingivitis
• It may decrease inflammation in the mouth

Examples of oral probiotics include Hyperbiotics PRO-Dental, BioGaia Prodentis, and ProBiora Oral Health.  These products are often sold as chewable tablets or lozenges to maximize their effectiveness. 

If you are the type of person who cannot swallow pills or if you're like me and you forget to take them, you're in luck because there are many different types of foods that you can get probiotics from, such as enhanced milk, yogurt, cheese and sauerkraut, just to name a few!

Remember to consult with your dentist before starting any new oral regimen or taking probiotics!
