Dental Probiotics

We’ve all heard of probiotics for your gut, but your mouth deserves a healthy balance of bacteria too. Dental probiotics are designed to harmonise the microflora inside your mouth, to help improve your oral health. Shop our range of dental probiotics from leading brands within Australia - including probiotic toothpastes, mouthwash and chewable mints - and enjoy the freshness that comes with balanced oral flora.

Over the last years, one of the promising solutions to maintain optimum oral health has been the emergence of dental probiotics. Whereas traditional probiotics target gut health, dental probiotics aim at the oral microbiome, which is the different community of bacteria residing in the mouth. These good microorganisms balance the oral bacteria that prevent the onset of dental issues such as cavities, gum diseases, and bad breath by harmful pathogens.

Dental probiotics depend on the very firm basis that oral health is highly connected with the health of a person. An appropriate oral microbial flora plays a vital role not only in the good health of teeth and gums but also in maintaining general health since this prevents infections occurring at sites other than the oral cavity.

The Oral Microbiome and Its Influence on Dental Health

The oral microbiome is a dynamic ecosystem that consists of over 700 species of bacteria, fungi, and viruses living in the mouth. While many such microorganisms are harmless and help maintain an environment of oral health, some can be pathogenic if their population overshoots normal levels.

A good oral microbiome plays a significant role in various important functions, such as food digestion, prevention of overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria, and assurance of good oral immunity. However, when this balance is disrupted—most often because of improper oral hygiene, too much intake of sugary products, or overuse of antibiotics—the pathogenic bacteria may override and cause dental problems such as:

Dental Caries (Cavities): The overproduction of cavity-causing bacteria like Streptococcus mutans causes the production of acid that etches the enamel and forms cavities.

Periodontal Disease: This is an imbalance of oral bacteria, leading to gum inflammation such as gingivitis and periodontitis.

Bad Breath (Halitosis): Some bacteria in the mouth can produce VSCs and cause persistent bad breath.

Oral Thrush: An overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans results in white patches in the mouth that may be painful.

Such conditions may be avoided and long-term good oral health ensured by maintaining the balance of oral microbiota. Dental probiotics introduce salivary and oral bacteria that compete with disease-causing microorganisms, aiding in the restoration and maintenance of good microbial balance.
