Introduction
With recent advancements in medical research, it is now well understood that our oral cavity is home to billions of microorganisms which is called the oral microbiome. This oral microbiome is responsible for the overall health of our oral cavity. Traditional medicine was focused on killing all the bacteria in your mouth with the usage of antibiotics. Now it is understood that there are beneficial bacteria also present in your mouth which should not be killed. The introduction of Prodentim in the market address this issue by saving these beneficial bacteria and promoting their growth while killing the harmful bacteria alongside.
Which are the beneficial bacteria in our mouth?
- Streptococcus salivarius is the main bacteria which is responsible for producing chemicals which kill harmful bacteria in your mouth. This bacteria also maintains the pH levels of your mouth in such a way that the harmful bacteria are killed and beneficial bacteria can live.
- Lactobacillus reuteri is another beneficial bacteria which is present in your mouth. It produces hydrogen peroxide which kills the pathogenic bacteria, contributing to gum health and overall wellness.
- Bifidobacterium bifidum produces antimicrobial chemicals which help maintain balance in the oral microbiome by killing the harmful microbes. It also strengthens the mucosal barrier, which helps to additionally protect the gum tissue from harmful pathogens.
- Actinomyces creates a biofilm which protect against microbes and pathogens.
- Veillonella is useful in processing the byproducts of other bacteria, which aids in maintaining the pH levels of oral microbiome. It breaks down complex carbohydrates which would serve as food for harmful bacteria.
- Neisseria helps to create a helpful colony of useful bacteria in dental surfaces from the beginning, which blocks other harmful bacteria from occupying the dental surfaces.
How antibiotics harm the oral microbiome?
Antibiotics are widely used by people to treat bacterial infections. However, antibiotics also kill some of the beneficial bacteria in the mouth. The healthy bacteria population is very difficult to grow back once killed by these antibiotics. Antiseptic mouthwashes also eliminate the useful bacteria alongwith the harmful bacteria. The antibotics and antiseptic medicines also disturb the natural pH of the oral cavity which causes the harmful bacteria to grow.
How bad food harms the oral microbiome: How does prodentim help to kill harmful bacteria?
High sugary foods provide fuel for harmful bacteria in the oral cavity, which causes them to grow. Acidic beverages such as coca-cola and pepsi also directly damage the enamel of the teeth and disturb the pH of the oral microbiome, causing harmful bacteria to grow. Processed foods such as burgers and fries also contribute towards growth of harmful bacteria by providing them nutrients to grow. Finally negligence of fiber consumption in our everyday diet also does not allow beneficial bacteria to survive, as these fiber foods are the nutrients the healthy bacteria need to grow and thrive.
How prodentim enables beneficial bacteria to grow?
Prodentim is carefully manufactured to ensure that only healthy beneficial bacteria called probiotics are released into the oral cavity when the tablets are taken regularly. The shelf-stable formulation ensures that the healthy bacteria are preserved at room temperature without requiring refrigeration. The targeted delivery system ensures that the healthy probiotics reach the essential areas of the oral cavity where they are mostly needed. Prodentim also enhances the natural immunity through production of anti-inflammatory chemicals by beneficial probiotic bacteria present in prodentim. Prodentim also ensures gum healing and recovery through healing compounds produced by probiotics. Occupation of binding sites in the tooth surface by probiotics ensures that growth of harmful bacteria is inhibited. Prodentim also maintains the overall pH of the oral cavity through release of certain compounds which creates a helpful environment for healthy bacterial growth and also killing harmful bacteria in the process.
Results of prodentim trials in the market
Clinical trials of prodentim in the market involving randomized double-blind studies have been conducted. Participants were categorised into populations using placebo and using prodentim. These trials have yielded impressive results. Users without placebo, that is, using actual prodentim, have showed a remarkable 82% improvement in oral microbiome diversity which shows the increased growth of helpful bacteria. These users also experienced a 73% reduction in harmful bacteria leading to overall better oral health. On top of that, the individuals taking prodentim also experienced a 65% improvement in gum health as compared to the placebo group. And undobutedly, these users reported a 91% overall satisfaction rate which highlights the success stories of people taking prodentim.
What are the immediate benefits of taking prodentim?
Users taking prodentim have experienced significant changes in their oral health within a few weeks of taking the probiotic product which are as follows:
- Individuals experience a significant reduction in sensitivity of teeth which allows them to enjoy both hot and cold foods without discomfort.
- People also start having fresh breath which lasts for longer periods of time owing to the changes in the oral microbiome caused by prodentim.
- The individuals also start having proper taste perceptions due to overall improvement in oral microbiome.
- The individuals get immediate relief from dry mouth symptoms due to increased saliva secretions thanks to improved oral bacterial health.
- Reduction in plaque on tooth enamel is also strikingly visible within the first few weeks of taking prodentim leading to whiter teeth.
What are the long term benefits of taking prodentim?
Prodentim users have experienced noticable changes in the long run, some of them are as follows:
- The risk of cavity formation has significantly reduced in the long run, all due to a balanced oral microbiome due to regular intake of prodentim.
- The users have also reported improved gum health in the form of reduced bleeding and low inflammation in the gums during dental examinations.
- The enamel strength has enhanced greatly, owing to better mineralization supported by the improved oral microbiome.
- Improved digestion due to better breakdown of food and positive influence of the oral microbiome in the gut microbiome.
- Enhancement in immune system functions by Lactobacillus reuteri and B. lactis BL-04 as reported in reduced frequency of minor illnesses and increased resistance to infections.
- Improvement in health of respiratory system as harmful bacterial in oral microbiome are killed and so are stopped from entering the respiratory tract preventing respiratory diseases.
- Overall improvement in health due to reduction in systemic inflammation across the entire body.
