oral care of the future :: probiotics crowd out decay-producing plaque.
our children can avoid decay, drills, morning breath, yellow teeth...

mod*tot is growing up so fast + had another dentist exam + cleaning :)
maybe there'll be no decay in the future because of oral probiotics!!!

Garden of Life probiotic smile mints
innovative biotechnology for oral health launched the 1st ever probiotic oral care chewable for kids to colonize/protect gums, teeth + tongue.
"designed for kids 3 - 10 years old, it's 100% natural + targets only the bad bacteria in the mouth + establishes a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria."
oral probiotic mints colonize healthy bacteria to "crowd out" bad bacteria.

a few years ago, i had my teeth cleaned + then my dentist gave me a folder with pictures of gingivitis, periodontitis , + bad news: most people over 18 have gum disease. parents like me often concentrate on their children + neglect their own oral health, then pass the harmful oral bacteria to their children.

my gum "issues" almost completely resolved in about a month of using oral probiotics, + desert essence tea tree oil toothpaste, which saved $2,000 she quoted for deep cleaning, antibiotics + placing the antibiotics under the gumline, which she + my dentist warned wasn't a cure + would quickly grow back if i didn't religiously brush, floss, have 4 cleanings a year...

also, my teeth are noticeably whiter + my breath is much better + i don't get bad taste in mouth or morning breath as much + my sinuses feel clear.
this is so amazing for my total health, because it relieves the chronic gum infection my immune system was fighting as a "wound". now my immune system can be more efficient. i want everybody to use oral probiotics.

oral probiotics are very important for seniors + disabled too, since medicare doesn't cover dentistry.

i am so excited with oral probiotics i interviewed a company spokesperson:

how do mouth probiotics effect gut bacteria?
ProBiora3(r), the active ingredient, is a blend of beneficial bacteria that survives only in the environment of your mouth. If you swallow some of the probiotics, those beneficialbacteria become inert and have no effect on your gut bacteria.

how does it work if it's chewed + swallowed immediately?

Try to allow the mint to dissolve in the mouth. The absolutely best way to use it is to let it first dissolve, then swish it between your teeth. We know it may not be easy for many kids to understand those directions, but remember - some of the probiotic smile mints chews will stay in the crevices of the teeth even if they chew it (just like tiny particles of food linger after eating) so kids get plenty of probiotics even if they chew it right up.

if i only chew it with side teeth, how does it help front gums?
The ProBiora3(r) probiotics are living bacteria that move around in your mouth - just like the other 700+ bacteria that normally reside in your mouth. Even if you chew with your side teeth (we all do!) the bacteria floods the entire mouth and sets up camp below the gum line and between the teeth.

The mint is not super strong like many breath mints, and the mint itself is not actually meant to freshen your breath. It's the probiotics that freshen your breath by crowding out the harmful bacteria that produce the foul-smelling sulfur gases that give us all bad breath. If you use the mint for about 5 consecutive days, you notice a significant decrease in bad breath and morning breath. It's very important to use the mints as directed. Not using them twice daily will allow the smelly bacteria the opportunity to begin to repopulate right away.

harmful bacteria are common in children’s mouths + are passed from parent to child, usually when the child is between 6 months to 3 years old – a time–frame dentists refer to as “the window of infectivity". These bacteria can be passed through kissing, sharing cups or utensils or food.

1 simple step parents can take to reduce the risks of passing these harmful bacteria to their children is through daily use of probiotic smile mints to keep their own mouths healthy while reducing the risk of passing these harmful bacteria to their children.

The beneficial bacteria found in probiotic smile mints are natural residents in very healthy mouths. Using probiotic smile mints daily ensures that the beneficial bacteria have the upper hand in maintaining a healthy bacterial balance in your children’s mouths.

probiotic smile mints reach where toothbrushes and floss can’t – into the crevices on the chewing surfaces of teeth.

do yogurt probiotics compete with probiotic smile mints?
Yogurt probiotics are residents of the gastro-intestinal tract a+ not the mouth, so they would only be present in the mouth for brief periods of time as they pass through to the gut. The yogurt strains may loosely attach indiscriminately to oral tissues but not likely to compete directly for space + nutrients with our probiotic strains since our strains are natural colonizers of the mouth have very specific niches in the complex 3-dimensional oral biofilm surrounding the teeth + around the gums. One should be able to use our product without concern, even if the previous meal/snack included a fermented dairy product, such as yogurt

"whitens teeth 4-5 shades in 30 days" : how does that work? will your teeth get tooo white if you use probiotic smile mints daily for years?probiotic smile mints can whiten up to 4 shades in 30 days. This whitening effect is achieved by the low dose of hydrogen peroxide naturally produced by our probiotic strains on a 24/7 basis. Because the whitening effect is gradual, there is not the threat of damage or sensitivity that can sometimes be experienced with whitening kits that rely on much higher strength hydrogen peroxide and short contact times with the teeth. Our product can maintain its moderate whitening effect over time, even without a change in life-style (e.g., smoking or drinking wine or coffee). By regularly using our oral care probiotics, you are not adding anything to your mouth that's not already contained in a healthy mouth. Our product has been on the market for 2 years, + none of its long-term users have complained that their teeth were "too white"
