    The latest research in the field of medical science has revealed many benefits associated with the use of probiotics. Probiotics are organisms that live in our intestinal tract and contribute to our overall health. In other words, they are the friendly bacteria that are crucial to good physical condition. Many people use probiotics dietary supplements to lower bad cholesterol levels, improving mineral absorption, lowering blood pressure, and controlling lactose intolerance. Recently, scientists have discovered that probiotics also play a major role in promoting oral health of an individual by treating dental diseases through probiotic administration.

    One of the most prominent benefits of probiotics is reduction of inflammation. This advantage can be used to treat oral diseases, however, researchers have not been able to locate the best oral probiotic as to yet. It has been observed that probiotic intake must be expanded in order to achieve the desired results. Many sources report that the probiotics S. salivarius and B. coagulans are associated with promoting oral health of a person. These bacteria help in fighting against harmful bacteria present in the mouth and should be consumed on a regular basis to maintain healthy teeth and gums. The best time to take these supplements is after brushing.

    Some people take lozenges to clear their throats, which also act as anti-bacterial agents and help in getting rid of foul odor by destroying harmful bacteria. This theory is another basis for developing special probiotics for the treatment of bad breath and other oral disorders including serious conditions. B. coagulans promotes the ability of white blood cells to fight against diseases, thereby boosting the immune system. On the other hand, S. salivarius has been particularly found to be linked with bad breath or halitosis as it helps in balancing the number of good bacteria versus bad bacteria in the mouth.

    In addition to promoting the immune system’s ability to defend more efficiently, probiotics also slow down growth of harmful bacteria that cause digestive problems including irritable bowel syndrome and colitis. Since it is an all-natural treatment, it has no side effects of any kind. However, other than the treatment of bad breath, no scientific evidence has not yet been released to public concerning the action of probiotics in controlling oral diseases. Bad breath in itself is a condition normally caused by harmful bacteria and therefore probiotics are an excellent cure for this embarrassing situation. It is important to follow the directions on any supplement product you consume to cure bad breath and promote oral health.

    Mostly probiotic supplements are required to be consumed for a period of 15 days to 4 weeks, depending on the severity of your condition. These supplements contain Streptococcus salivarius K12, a probiotic, which has been proposed for use in the oral cavity. Various studies have shown that this agent is safe for human consumption. Many products are available in the form of probiotic mint for complete oral care. EvoraPlus is a popular product that contains a unique beneficial bacterial blend and it not only cures bad breath but also helps in whitening of teeth.
