Advanced Oral Probiotics

A concise clinical primer for your team — what the formula is, how it works in the mouth, which patients it's for, and how to recommend it.

A dentist-formulated, oral-specific probiotic

A dentist-formulated, oral-specific probiotic

Unlike gut probiotics, these strains are selected to colonize the mouth and throat — not the digestive tract — working directly where oral disease begins. Formulated by Dr. Paul O'Malley.

  • 7 strains

    Clinically studied blend

  • 6 billion CFU

    Per serving (2 tablets)

  • 18-month potency

    Live-Bac — no refrigeration

  • Chewable

    Mint or strawberry-vanilla

How it works in the mouth

The mechanism behind a balanced oral microbiome

  • Introduce

    Chewing releases beneficial strains directly into the mouth and throat, where oral disease starts.

  • Colonize

    BLIS K12 and M18 establish in the oral cavity — unlike gut probiotics, they work locally.

  • Crowd out

    Beneficial bacteria compete with and displace odor- and decay-causing pathogens.

  • Rebalance

    A healthier microbiome supports fresher breath, calmer gums, and a less acidic pH.

The 7-strain formula

6 billion CFU per serving — the role of each strain

  • S. salivarius BLIS K12

    Patented BLIS

    Clinically studied to reduce bad-breath compounds and support throat, tonsil, and oral health.

  • S. salivarius BLIS M18

    Patented BLIS

    Targets bacteria that contribute to plaque buildup and gum irritation, for stronger, healthier gums.

  • Lactobacillus reuteri

    Supports gum tissue health and helps reduce oral inflammation while promoting a balanced microbiome.

  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus

    Reinforces oral and immune defenses while helping inhibit decay-causing bacteria.

  • Lactobacillus salivarius

    Promotes saliva flow and helps control odor-causing bacteria for lasting freshness.

  • Lactobacillus paracasei

    Aids in maintaining microbial balance and supports fresh breath.

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus

    Strengthens the oral immune response and supports healthy teeth and gums.

Which patients it's for

Consider recommending to patients presenting with:

  • Chronic bad breath / halitosis
  • Gingivitis-prone patients
  • Post-scaling & periodontal maintenance
  • Dry mouth
  • Post-antibiotic microbiome imbalance
  • Cavity-prone patients (incl. kids)
  • Recurrent sore throat / tonsil concerns

How to recommend it

A simple protocol your team can share with patients

  • Usage

    • First month

      Chew 2 tablets twice daily — 2 in the morning and 2 before bed.

    • Maintenance

      Reduce to 2 tablets nightly, after brushing and flossing.

    • Let it work

      Avoid food or drink for ~30 minutes after use so strains can colonize.

  • What patients can expect

    • Days

      Many patients notice fresher breath within the first few days of consistent use.

    • 3–4 weeks

      Gum comfort and overall oral balance typically improve with continued daily use.

    Restoring oral balance is a gradual process — consistency matters more than dose size.

Dosing/timeline transcribed from the consumer product page — confirm the protocol you want clinicians to use.

Patient talking points

Quick answers for the questions patients ask most

  • How is this different from a gut probiotic?

    These strains are selected to colonize the mouth and throat and act locally — a gut probiotic won't establish or work in the oral cavity.

  • Why chew at night?

    Taking it after brushing, before bed, lets the beneficial bacteria populate the mouth overnight when saliva flow is lowest and there's no food to wash them away.

  • Is it safe with dental work or other products?

    Yes — it's a food-grade supplement designed for daily use alongside brushing, flossing, and routine care. Consistency is what drives results.

  • Does it need refrigeration?

    No. Patented Live-Bac technology keeps the cultures viable for 18 months at room temperature.
