Scientists are looking at using good bacteria, called probiotics, to help improve oral health. But not all probiotics work for all types of oral health issues, so researchers are now looking at using the right probiotic for each person’s individual case. Some types of Lactobacillus bacteria have properties that may be helpful in treating a type of gum disease called periodontitis. The study used different types of bacteria that were screened to make sure they were safe and able to help improve oral health. They were tested on harmful bacteria that can cause gum disease using both traditional and new methods. The results showed that some probiotics were more effective than others.
