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.
The Luvbiotics range, recently launched in the UK, uses bionet technology powered by probiotics and xylitol with natural ingredients to promote good bacteria and balance oral flora for a happier, healthier mouth and improved wellbeing.
The Luvbiotics range has been developed using pioneering breakthrough technology for over two years with a world leading research institute, scientists and dentists.
The range of products includes toothpaste, mouthwash and lozenges: Luvbiotics Original Toothpaste, Luvbiotics Whitening Toothpaste, Luvbiotics Lozenges Cherry, Luvbiotics Lozenges Original and Luvbiotics Mouthwash Original. They are all available through Amazon.
The Luvbiotics toothpastes contain 0.32% w/w sodium fluoride and the mouthwash contains 0.05% w/w sodium fluoride in the formulation.
