The main cause of tooth decay can be found in the bacteria strain S. mutans (just a name). This bacteria produces acids that eat away and destroy your teeth.
Tests show that oral probiotics can not only control the overgrowth of S. mutans but that oral probiotics can restore a healthy pH (non-acid) balance to your mouth. LESS “BAD BACTERIA” MEANS LESS ACID–AND LESS ACID MEANS FEWER CAVITIES.
One test in Japan showed that the use of oral probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri (in our blend) reduced the concentration of S. MUTANS in the saliva by up to 80%.
Another long-term study, of 594 children 1 to 6 years old, was done to look at the effect upon dental cavities by using oral probiotics. The study concluded that children that consumed the oral probiotics had significantly fewer dental caries and lower salivary counts of S. mutans than the children that did not take them.
