As a cosmetic and restorative dentist with over 20 years of experience serving the Wellesley Boston, MA community, I prioritize not only creating beautiful, lasting smiles but also ensuring the long-term health and vitality of my patients’ teeth and gums. In addition to our comprehensive cosmetic treatments, we offer preventive care that maintains the results we achieve.
Today, I want to review an exciting development in preventive dental care: probiotics, specifically dental probiotics.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. Most people are familiar with probiotics in relation to gut health, but recent research shows that they can also play a crucial role in maintaining oral health. Dental probiotics are specially formulated to support the balance of good bacteria in your mouth, helping to promote a healthier oral environment.
Recent advancements in dental probiotics, particularly from companies like BIOGAIA pioneers in the field have identified specific strains of beneficial bacteria that can significantly improve oral health. These strains, such as Lactobacillus reuteri, help to reduce harmful bacteria responsible for conditions like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Dental probiotics work by outcompeting harmful bacteria and promoting a balanced, healthier oral microbiome.
For patients who have undergone cosmetic or restorative treatments, maintaining a healthy oral environment is essential to preserving their investment. Dental probiotics can help prevent the recurrence of issues like gum inflammation and decay, which are often caused by an imbalance in oral bacteria. Incorporating probiotics into your oral care routine can also reduce bad breath, strengthen the gums, and promote overall oral wellness.
In our practice, we advocate for a holistic approach to care, where preventive strategies like probiotics can extend the longevity of the beautiful results we achieve. Dental probiotics are not just about treating oral problems; they are about maintaining a healthy balance that supports your long-term oral health.
For best results, we recommend the BIOGAIA dental probiotics, as they are backed by strong clinical research and offer specific strains that benefit oral health. Our patients can incorporate these probiotics into their daily routine as a supplement or a chewable tablet, ideally after brushing and flossing, to help keep harmful bacteria at bay.
If you have recently completed a treatment with us or are interested in preserving your smile for years to come, dental probiotics may be an excellent addition to your oral hygiene routine.
