After seeing a mention of these probiotics in an article about dental/oral health, I searched for and found these. This probiotic strain (M18) was specifically developed to be benign bacteria and to improve the microbiome in people's mouths. These bacteria do not produce the acids or other substances that promote tooth decay, gum inflammation, and so forth. They actually tend to inhibit the presence of some of the "bad" bacteria. I am cautious about taking pills and trying various things that are touted as improving one's health. So I looked up some of the research studies in medical journals that tested whether or not M18 did what it is supposed to do. Of the several journal articles I found, M18 consistently was found to decrease the occurrence of tooth decay in children and adults. So I bought these and tried them. I've often had some inflammation and bleeding of my gums when having my teeth cleaned and sometimes even just during routine brushing. After using these probiotics my dental hygienist has commented about not finding any blood or gum inflammation at all when cleaning my teeth. So these probiotic tablets are doing what they say they do. Highly recommended. Read more
I decided to use these just at night and I noticed a slight difference, nothing to write home about. Then I got into yogurt making and worse have decided to check all my probiotics by culturing them. I made a batch of very strong yogurt using this and suddenly my teeth are clean, I'm brushing them because that's what we all do but I don't feel I need to. I've always had a problem with tartar build up with my front teeth, since I started with this yogurt a week ago the tartar cleaned itself out....I'm just amazed blown away. Granted the other change I made is eating prebiotics with my probiotics. The moral to the story, if I had used that product as specified in the directions, twice a day I might have gotten these results without the need to make yogurt, which is way easier. The good news is I found out they are live cultures. Read more

I did not notice any difference. My tongue still had a coating, my tonsiliths actually got worse, and my gum did not get any less swollen. The only thing that eventually helped my gums was flossing twice a day. When I get back to the dentist I'll see if there has been any improvements in the carries on my teeth. Read more
I have been giving my little daughter oral probiotics for over a month. She has a bit of an issue with cavities in her baby teeth and some infection in her gum. After trying many things that sort of worked, I gave probiotics a chance. The result was phenomenal. The infection is gone and even some tiny cavities she has seem diminished. But I was using another brand with less than half of the amount of CFU (1 million per tablet that needed to be kept in the fridge after opening). Researching around, came across these. Was hesitant due to the higher price point that most people were complaining, but after doing the math, realized this was a much better deal. You get 30 days of 2.5 billion CFU per tablet, which does the same than the competitor does with double the amount of pills yet even less CFU. My daughter loves the taste, which is crucial for a child (if she don’t like the taste...forget about forcing it. Wont work), and is happy to take it every night after brushing her teeth. The vendour was extremely courteous, sent me a message further explaining the product and how to bes use it for maximum effectiveness. Is my understanding that this is the company that actually came up with the product, so makes me happy to know that I’m giving my daughter the best product available. Also, is from New Zealand...cleanest country ever! Read more

I had 2 extractions in Dec 2019 and hoped to have implants finished within a year. Then the pandemic hit. Everything was delayed. I began to lose bone and had a very invasive bone graft surgery in addition to the initial 2 bone grafts. When all was finally finished in November 2022 my gums were sore and tight. Even smiling caused discomfort. I was at the point of tears and sorry I even started the ordeal. Then I found BLIS Teeth & Gums Oral Probiotics for Mouth. They have transformed my recovery. I have been using 1-2 every night for 2 months. I am 100% pain free and my gums no longer feel like they are being constantly stretched. I know I would have had some healing over time even without them but I don't believe my gums would have improved nearly this much. One final note. My dentist wanted to do a gum graft because my gums surrounding the implants were whitish and thin. They are looking pinker and healthier every day. I believe I will be able to avoid a $700 gum graft and months of additional pain. Read more
