PROBIOTICS: CAN “GOOD BACTERIA” PROTECT YOUR SMILE?

Your mouth is an ecosystem—and not every bacterium is the enemy.

Probiotics may help rebalance the oral microbiome and limit certain harmful microorganisms.

Strains such as Lactobacillus reuteri have shown promising results when used alongside periodontal treatment. �

They are being explored for gingivitis, periodontitis, caries-associated bacteria and halitosis.

But here’s the catch: the strain, dose, duration and delivery method halitosis

Probiotics are an adjunct—not a replacement for brushing, interdental cleaning, fluoride, professional treatment and a healthy lifestyle.

The future of dentistry may not be about killing every bacterium—but about creating the right microbial balance.
