Nature's Plus Adults Dental Care Probiotic, 60 Lozenges With M18 Probiotics, Vitamin D3, Calcium, & Coenzyme Q10 - For Healthy Gums, Strong Teeth, Fresh Breath & Reduce The Risk Of Tooth Decay

I get a LOT of plaque! I've tried everything to get rid of it. I brush and floss, use an electronic toothbrush go to the periodontist. I'm very diligent but still the plaque comes back and quickly. I read a lot about trying to change the environment in your mouth to make it inhospitable to plaque and I don't know why dentists aren't doing more in this area. Dentistry really seems like a backward profession to me. Of all the many dentists I've been to not one of them is aware of or looking into this angle to reduce plaque. I've tried kelp pills on myself and on my dog (proden plaque off). They worked very well for my dog, but the both of us didn't feel very well taking them. I studied more and learned that probiotics might help. This product does help. I'd say I have about a 30% improvement. I take 2 a day at night after I brush my teeth and before I go to bed. I was thinking I might see even more improvement if I take 4 a day (add 2 in the morning), but they are kind of expensive. I still might try it. I'll let you know if I do. They taste very good too, almost a treat to take them. I hope there is more research done with probiotics and other alternatives by the professional dental community because I think this is a promising path.

The proper way to use this product is to eat your meal, brush your teeth, rinse and gargle with Listerine wait 5 or 10 minutes and then let this lozenge dissolve in your freshly cleaned mouth. Listerine will kill the bacteria in M-18 if you use Listerine afterwards. Only four stars because I haven't be able to confirm any effect from it. I use it in a prophylactic manner.

I had Candida in my mouth, after fighting systemic Candida in my overall body and conquering that. The oral Candida caused me to have "dry mouth," which led to cavities, before I was told this was what was causing my dry mouth. This supplement crowded out the fungus and, together with a completely sugar-free diet, remedied the situation.

I've used this for a while now per the directions, before bedtime and after brushing. After swishing a tablet around for awhile, my teeth feel cleaner. But it's short-lived. What I notice is that in the morning following using these, my teeth feel more "fuzzy" than if I don't use them. This is the opposite of what I'd expect, and I don't know the reason. If they're doing good, I can't see it or feel it, so I probably will not reorder.

These are very chalky and don't taste great, but I'm hoping to have some good results. It's hard to get 2 in per day as the instructions indicate, but I am doing my best. Will update if anything changes (obviously not with the taste or consistency, but oral health). I wish they could make these in a different format. I don't think they should be called "lozenges". That word makes me think of a hard, smooth product, not a dusty chalk bucket.
