The unique strain of probiotics in Probiotic Smile: Naturally Whiten Teeth Freshen Breath at the Source Support Tooth & Gum Health Are Clinically Studied Are Great for All Ages What are the Probiotics in Probiotic Smile? Two of the probiotic strains in Probiotic Smile are known as S. oralis & S. uberis, & they are normally present in the mouths of people with healthy gums. The third strain is called S. rattus, which oddly enough, is very similar to the bacteria responsible for most tooth decay. However, when these three strains are put together in this synergistic blend, they rebalance the oral flora & promote naturally whiter teeth & fresher breath. Why Probiotic Smile vs. Other Whitening Agents? This is a much better route than bleaching fragile teeth enamel with high levels of harsh chemicals that create a roughness on the tooths surface. These over-the-counter whitening products & those professionally applied in dental offices are extremely harsh, disrupting the fragile ecosystem in the oral cavity & creating an even greater imbalance in the mouths microflora. Unlike these bleaching products, Probiotic Smile is an all-natural blend of probiotics that works to balance the oral flora in the mouth & promote a healthy environment for teeth & gums while gradually whitening teeth. Probiotic Smile Probiotic Mints for Complete Oral Care & a Beautiful Brighter Smile! Dosage Use twice daily. For best results use after brushing teeth & allow the probiotic mint to completely disolve in mouth while touching all tooth & gum surfaces
