What are Probiotics

What are Probiotics

The World Health Organization defines probiotics as micro-organisms that confer a positive health benefit to the host when taken in specific quantities. In other words, probiotics are "good" bacteria that enhance your well-being when balanced with the "harmful" bacteria already in your body.

The proper balance of bacteria is critical to oral health. Sometimes this balance can change due to stress, illness, poor diets or inadequate oral hygiene. An imbalance in the oral environment can lead to poor gum health, plaque buildup and bad breath. Adding GUM® PerioBalance® to your daily oral care routine helps to bring this balance back to its natural state, providing a natural defense against oral health problems.*

GUM® PerioBalance is the first advanced oral health probiotic containing the innovative and patented active ingredient Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis® which has been documented in clinical studies to improve gum health and overall oral health in just 28 days.
