Probiotics And Oral Health

The term Probiotic means “for life”. Probiotics by definition are viable microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts provide a health benefit to the host. Intestinal diseases have been controlled using this approach through colonisation resistance and modulation of the immune system.These bacteria should be able to resist gastric secretion and survive during intestinal transit and also adhere to the mucosa of the intestine and inhibit pathogens present in the gut.
