Probiotics

As I mentioned, dental health issues of today can be traced partly to lower levels of healthy probiotic bacteria in the mouth. Research continues to highlight the extensive roles probiotics play in supporting and maintaining numerous areas of health beyond digestion alone. In the case of dental health, a number of probiotic strains are shown in published research to support healthy oral bacteria and fight throat and respiratory infections.
