Probiotics - A New Way to Improve Oral Health

Probiotics can improve oral health many ways from reducing bad breath to fighting cavities.

I think your inclination to improve your whole oral health is great. White patches aren't normal, so even if they are asymptomatic it would be good to clear them up. They might from something called thrush (a fungal infection it the mouth), and probiotics can be helpful in clearing this up by helping to rebalance your oral bacteria. Double check with your doctors and good luck.

I think the strain they use (S. Salivarius K12) is great. There are a bunch out there that work very well. Probiotics a really nice way to give good oral hygiene and other good dietary practices a boost.

Some probiotics have been used in studies to improve otis media, sore throat, etc. in children. It is pretty neat that you are seeing some of those aide benefits.

What are you looking at/using to determine effectiveness of the probiotics, mouthwash, etc.?

My main reason is that I want to make my whole oral including back of throat and even nasal to be healthy, but at the back of my throat, behind uvula, occasionally I would see white milky patches. I have it tested for strep and it has been negative. And they say since it's not harmful, not to worry. lol But I figured, if I can have a healthy system in my mouth, including my throat, it could decrease it. It did after the 7 days treatment but it's not 100%.

I first used the mouthwash, which I didn't see as effective but I was told I need to use in the same time as their toothpaste. I will find that out later. I just finished the therabreath probiotic 7 days treatment and I didn't notice anything till the last day. At the back of my throat there used to be some white patches which the doctors said wasn't strep and after using it, 90% was gone. Not sure if it will clear it all because I finished the 7 days.

What have you been using the Therabreath probiotics in?

hello, why would you want to help us though if you profit off of our bad tooth health it seems like you would want to give us cavities so you make money.
