Why you need to give your kids probiotic toothpaste!

You may already have heard the lowdown on probiotics – take them as a tablet or powder for maintaining healthy bacteria and promoting good gut health. But what does this have to do with oral health?

Interestingly, emerging research has found that a benefit of regular use of probiotics is a reduction in several dental and oral problems in children, such as cavities, tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. The balance of bacteria in the mouth is a delicate one, and so many factors can affect it. When it comes to littlies, their diet, overall health and brushing habits all come into play in keeping those good bacteria thriving. Sometimes, a helping hand is just what we need. Little Gnashies toothpaste to the rescue!
