How do probiotics help improve my teeth, gums and breath (oral health)?

Dental probiotics are specific strains of bacteria chosen for their known dental care benefits. Traditionally probiotics have been associated with digestive health but recent studies support the use of probiotics for oral health purposes.

When you have too many of the bad bacteria in your oral cavity this can lead to poor oral hygiene like plaque build-up, bad breath and gingivitis. The probiotics used in Luvbiotics® encourage the good bacteria to over populate the bad bacteria to help maintain good oral hygiene.

Can I use Luvbiotics® everyday?

To maximise the effect from your Luvbiotics® products, we recommend you follow with a capful of Luvbiotics® mouthwash and Luvbiotics® lozenges especially when brushing is not immediately possible.

Can the whole family use Luvbiotics®?

Luvbiotics® is family friendly for adults and children over 12.
