What is a Dental Probiotic?

Simply put, a dental probiotic is a blend of beneficial bacteria strains that help breakdown plaque on your teeth, help prevent cavities, improve oral health and help aid in the overall health of your body.

Benefits

• Helps fight cavities by neutralizing acid attacks on teeth from bad bacteria
• Helps prevent oral diseases, like gum disease, by breaking down plaque on teeth
• Increases the number of good bacteria in your mouth to balance the oral microbiome
• Works 24/7 to protect your teeth and gums
• Can be taken by both adults and children!

The Bad Guys

• The strain of bacteria that is primarily responsible for problems in the mouth is called Streptococcus mutans. They live and thrive in the plaque on your teeth and feed off of the sugar you eat which causes them to produce acid that decays your teeth.  When left unchecked Streptococcus mutans can actually make their way into the blood stream and cause other diseases in your body.

How it works:

• The good bacteria in SuperTeeth Dental Probiotics produce enzymes called dextranase and urease. Dextranase breaks down dextran (something that plaque on your teeth is rich in) and urease interacts with the urea in your saliva to neutralize your mouth's pH.  
• These good bacteria also produce an anti-microbial protein called Salivaricin-M that has been clinically shown to fight Streptococcus mutans and reduce the risk of cavities.

Healthy Mouths Have:

• A harmonious balance of bacteria
• A normal pH range that allows saliva to keep bad bacteria in check
• Low levels of plaque and tartar buildup on teeth

Unhealthy Mouths Have:

• Large quantities of bad bacteria 
• Acidic pH levels that allow bad bacteria to thrive
• High levels of plaque and tartar buildup teeth
