Many of us have noticed the newest trend in health: Bacteria. I have noticed so many commercials for Activia Yogurt, and in the stores all the containers say that they promote intestinal health. We have good bacteria and bad. Bad bacteria are those that can get out of the control of our immune system. These cause infections and illnesses. Ironically the bacteria that are in the mouth are a double edged sword. The very bacteria that give us cavities are the bacteria that compete with and help prevent the growth of periodontitis. So bacteria in a BALANCE with our bodies are beneficial. Likewise the digestive system is inhabited by bacteria that help us digest certain foods. If through stress, illness, antibiotics these bacteria are killed off or imbalanced our system can suffer. This brings us to the advent of PROBIOTICS. These "Good" bacteria are put into foods, yogurt, pills in order to replace what was lost. This theory has been embraced by the dental community as well and resulted in a new product. This daily mint is filled with "Probiotics that promote oral health". Soon to be available to the professional Butler/Sunstar Periobalance is currently available online to everyone. In cases where I find people have been coming in for their cleanings, they are using a Sonicare toothbrush, they are flossing, but still I find their gums are bleeding I recommend this product. As we have more feedback from the use I will update you again.
As Probiotics and proper nutrition go hand in hand, I have made comments about nutrition prior but a good source of information that I trust can be found:
