Linda – The Probiotics Tooth Fairy

Instead of loading pets up with prescription drugs, ointments and skin-care products, Dr. Greg has taken a step back to look at the root cause of common health challenges faced by pets. What he’s found is that many, many pets are suffering from food allergies.

This explains why different children in the same family with the same eating and brushing habits can have different levels of oral health – even a slight imbalance in oral bacteria can cause more tooth decay.

There is much to be said about periodontal disease. This disease, which affects millions of adults, not only threatens the health of the mouth, but also increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and even premature birth.

What if there was one simple step you could take just once daily that would make your pets’ breath fresh like a puppy or kitten in just a few weeks? What if all you needed to do was balance the bacteria in your pets’ mouths and it would put an end to the foul breath?

As they relate to oral health, allergies are a well-known cause of bad breath, sometimes from the postnasal drip that streams down the back of your throat during an allergy flare-up, and sometimes from the medications taken to mediate the allergy symptoms.

True dry mouth – the condition where the body doesn’t produce enough saliva – keeps the mouth from flushing out the bacteria that produce volatile sulfur compounds – out of the mouth.

But what’s the Easter Bunny to do? Eschew candies and treats altogether? Not necessarily. When the infamous bunny stops by your house, he might consider leaving baskets overflowing with cool new outfits, summer apparel, coveted toys, toothbrushes and even the hottest new item in oral health – oral probiotics to maintain childrens’ dental health.

Brushing teeth involves a lot of motor skills. Children need to have good proprioceptive awareness, meaning they need to know where their bodies are in space, in order to comfortably aim the toothbrush into the mouth.

Many recent studies have noted a serious connection between the health of your teeth and gums to the health of your heart. These studies have found that people who have periodontal (gum) disease are twice as likely to have heart disease as those whose gums are healthy.
