BioGaia Prodentis Oral Probiotics for Teeth and Gums - Mint Lozenges with L. reuteri for Fresh Breath and Gum Health (30 Count)

BioGaia Prodentis contains two patented strains of Lactobacillus reuteri (DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289) that have been studied in over 70 clinical trials specifically for oral health. Most competitors use BLIS K12/M18 strains. BioGaia's L. reuteri produces Reuterin, a natural antimicrobial peptide that selectively kills harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial ones — a fundamentally different mechanism than broad-spectrum antiseptic mouthwashes.

Take one lozenge daily, ideally after brushing your teeth before bed. Let it dissolve slowly in your mouth — don't chew or swallow it quickly. This allows the L. reuteri bacteria to colonize your oral surfaces overnight when saliva flow is reduced and the bacteria have the best chance to adhere. Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after taking it.

Most users notice fresher breath within 1-2 weeks of daily use. Clinical improvements in gum health markers like reduced bleeding typically appear after 2-4 weeks of consistent use. For optimal oral microbiome rebalancing, dental professionals recommend at least 3 months of daily supplementation.

It's best to avoid using antiseptic mouthwash immediately before or after taking Prodentis, as antimicrobial mouthwashes can kill the beneficial probiotic bacteria before they colonize. If you use mouthwash, use it earlier in the day and take your Prodentis lozenge at night after brushing. The goal is to let the probiotics populate your mouth without interference.

Yes, BioGaia offers a Prodentis Kids version (apple-flavored) specifically formulated for children. The adult mint lozenges are also safe for children who can safely dissolve a lozenge without choking risk. L. reuteri has an excellent safety profile across all age groups, and BioGaia's strains are among the most studied probiotics in pediatric research.
