Probiotics
Made from: Yeast, and other microorganisms
Benefits:
- Reducing bad breath: Probiotics can help decrease the levels of odor-causing bacteria in the mouth, thus reducing bad breath.
- Preventing dental caries (tooth decay): Certain probiotic strains can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans, which is a major contributor to tooth decay.
- Enhancing gum health: Probiotics can help balance the oral microbiome, reducing the presence of harmful bacteria associated with gum disease, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis.
- Alleviating oral inflammation: Probiotics have shown potential in reducing oral inflammation associated with conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis.
- Strengthening the immune system: A healthy balance of oral microbiota, supported by probiotics, can enhance the immune response in the mouth, helping to fight off oral infections.
