Linda – The Probiotics Tooth Fairy

According to the September 2002 edition of the Journal of the American Dental Association, when diabetes is not properly controlled, high glucose levels in diabetics’ saliva feeds the sugar-loving, tooth-decay causing bacteria in the mouth. Because the high glucose levels are in the saliva and not on surfaces of teeth, the problem is much harder to control with tradition oral care methods, such as brushing and flossing.

Not all cases of halitosis (bad breath) stem from the same cause. While for some bad breath may simply be the result of eating onions on their salad or their daily cup of coffee, others may find that their halitosis is a sign of a serious health condition.

Join me and my good friend Beth Troutman from The Balancing Act, Lifetime TV’s morning show, at 7:30 a.m. Monday, January 18 for tips you will not want to miss.

On the My Family Loves It website, Heather writes that her dental hygienist has already noted that her gums look healthier. She also offered a valuable tip for moms on the go – keep your EvoraPlus in the car, in case you forget to take it in your rush to get out the door each morning.

When people floss, they typically wind the floss around their fingers, and use one section of floss to clean between their teeth. Is this the way you were taught to floss? Apparently not only is it not the right way to floss – it can move harmful bacteria from one part of your mouth to the other.

EvoraPlus probiotic mints were featured on a recent Fox News segment in the Tampa viewing area, and Fox News viewers nationwide might catch a glimpse of the segment in the weeks ahead!

Your mouth is home to hundreds of bacteria. Most of them are completely harmless, some are harmful, and others are beneficial. The harmful bacteria love to feast on sugar. It gives them fuel which allows them to multiply and gain a strong foot-hold in your mouth.

From the ads on television for similar products, I can generally figure out that these whitening products are full of harsh, chemical hydrogen peroxide. I also know that these types of strong chemical tooth whiteners may do exactly what they claim to do, but not without a cost. Chemical hydrogen peroxide causes cracks, pits and etching in otherwise healthy teeth.
