Why Probiotics are a Must
Wondering wh
at the key to improved oral health and fresh breath is? New research shows it could be probiotics.
If you haven’t heard of them already, probiotics are live microorganisms that are thought to be beneficial to the host organism. Research has shown that they are beneficial for digestion, lactose intolerance, colon care, cholesterol, blood pressure, and immune function. Now research is showing that probiotics are helpful for oral health as well.
Probiotics help to knock out bad breath by introducing new bacteria into the mouth and multiplying fast enough to crowd out the bacteria that give off odors.
These little microorganisms are like fighter bacteria, killing bad bacteria while preserving the “good” or less-harmful types. Studies have shown that that probiotics also help treat certain inflammatory diseases. Because periodontal disease inflames the gums and can lead to other inflammatory responses in the body, probiotics may be helpful in controlling the inflammation.
