Looking after oral health is probably more important that we give it credit for. For example, did you know that there is a strong link between oral health and brain health? Harmful bacteria can travel through the bloodstream to the brain, causing inflammation. Poor dental health can result in dementia, Alzheimer’s and even strokes. When I read that it scared the life out of me and urged me to take better care of my oral health. Making one small change could make a difference.
Do you have oral health problems including bleeding gums, inflammation, mouth ulcers, bad breath, dry mouth, or Sjogren’s syndrome, a condition which causes dry mouth? If so, a daily probiotic like Biogaia Prodentis lozenges could make a difference. This is a daily probiotic supplement for healthy gums, bad breath, and dry mouth. Your mouth is full of bacteria, good and bad. When there’s an imbalance, problems arise. Biogaia works by introducing good bacteria to the mouth to create a healthy microbiota.
Prodentis contains two patented bacterial strains of L. reuteri. These strains are the world’s most studied bacteria for oral health. L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC PTA 5289. When used after brushing and flossing the good bacteria is delivered locally to your oral cavity, supporting healthy gums and teeth. Each lozenge is mint flavoured and leaves your mouth feeling fresh!
If you have inflammation of the gums, you could try NatureaPlus PRO Curcumin Longvida* 500mg Lozenges. They can aid in healing, discomfort, and pain reduction. Curcumin’s natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties make it a go to for a healthy mouth
Nature’s Answer Periobrite is an alcohol free, fluoride free mouthwash made with a blend of organic soothing herbs, cinnamon, clove and oregano to support gum tissue and reduce plaque. It provides a soothing, refreshing alternative to the harsh mouthwashes. In addition, this mouthwash will help with dry mouth that is all too common and irritating. Nature’s Answer Periobrite is recommended for daily use as it energises your whole mouth with a sparkling minty flavour.
Other supplements for oral care include Vitamin C, CoQ10, and Pycnogenol. These are just some of the products that may help support oral health. Let us know if you have any questions, we would love to help.
