Your mouth is its own ecosystem. And like any ecosystem, it needs the right balance to thrive.
Most people know their gut needs probiotics. What many people don’t realize is that your mouth has its own microbiome too. And what you swallow never reaches it.
Here’s why that matters. Your mouth is home to more than 700 species of bacteria. When the balance shifts toward harmful bacteria from things like sugar, stress, antibiotics, or alcohol-based mouthwash, it can influence more than just your breath.
Research has shown that bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream in certain situations and interact with other systems in the body. It is one reason scientists have become increasingly interested in the role of the oral microbiome.
Brushing and flossing remove buildup on the surface. But they do not help support the balance of bacteria that make up the oral microbiome. That is the part many oral care routines are missing.
That is why Ora-Protek is a lozenge. It dissolves directly in the mouth, allowing beneficial probiotic strains to interact with the oral microbiome right where they are needed.
Supporting the balance of bacteria in the mouth is an emerging part of modern oral care.
Your mouth is alive. Treat it like the ecosystem it is.
