When it comes to oral health, dental probiotics have shown potential to rebalance the oral microbiome by crowding out the 'bad bacteria' and promoting the beneficial bacteria, in turn reducing the risk of dental disease. Dental probiotics are emerging as a promising concept in treatment of gum disease; they also help reduce the risk of dental decay by reducing levels of certain decay-causing bacteria. They display anti-inflammatory properties, helping to improve gum health and reduce bleeding from the gums. There is also evidence that dental probiotics manage smelly breath, by suppressing the production of bacteria producing volatile sulphur compounds that contribute to oral malodour.

The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects of dental probiotics not only benefit the oral microbiome, but also have further positive impact on the rest of the body. Just as good gut health affects the entire body, a balanced oral microbiome supports gut health and general immunity.
