Recent studies in the field of dentistry have revealed fascinating insights into the potential benefits of probiotic oral health products. According to a 2019 study conducted by the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, „the use of probiotic oral health products was associated with a reduction in gingivitis and plaque accumulation, as well as a decrease in the levels of oral bacteria associated with periodontal diseases.“(1)
This research provides a fascinating glimpse into the potential of probiotics to improve oral health. Probiotics are living microorganisms which are beneficial to the human body, and their application in dentistry is quickly gaining traction. Studies have shown that probiotic oral health products can help reduce the levels of oral bacteria which are associated with periodontal disease and gingivitis, and can also help to reduce plaque accumulation.
The use of probiotics in dentistry has been gaining attention in recent years, with a number of oral health products now available on the market. While the research is still in its early stages, the potential benefits of probiotics to improve oral health are clear. Dentists should consider incorporating probiotic oral health products into their practice, as they may provide a valuable tool in the fight against oral bacteria and periodontal diseases.
