Biocidin Botanicals, a leader in botanical supplements and microbiome health, has added dentist-formulated Dentalflora to its growing "Smile" category of Dentaceuticals.
Dentalflora is a daily oral probiotic that promotes healthy teeth and gums and fresh breath by populating the mouth with beneficial bacteria. Naturally flavored with organic spearmint leaf extract and sweetened with xylitol, each dissolvable tablet offers the power of four research-backed probiotics that support oral health and a flourishing oral microbiome.
Rachel Fresco, founder and formulator of Biocidin Botanicals, said research points to oral probiotics as the natural next step in supporting moral microbiome balance.
"Dentalflora is a game-changer for healthcare practitioners and their patients," said Fresco. "Research about the oral microbiome has exploded in the last several years, confirming that whole-body health begins in the mouth.”
Biocidin Botanicals collaborated with Functional Dentist Dr. Ariana Ebrahimian to formulate Dentalflora. Dr. Ebrahimian is a Biocidin Botanicals' scientific advisory board member and an active member of industry-leading professional organizations, including the American Academy of Oral-Systemic Health and the Institute for Functional Medicine.
"Exciting advances in dental research show that certain probiotic species and strains can create peptides called 'bacteriocins' that are toxic to unwanted microbes, including those implicated in issues that impact systemic health," Dr. Ebrahimian explained. "I've seen great results with my patients who have added probiotics to their oral care regimen, and Dentalflora has everything I feel is needed in an oral probiotic."
