I use a similar product, LEF Florassist Oral https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item02120... That has BLIS M18™ and Immuno-LP20® BLIS M18: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9012604/ I have not noticed any difference.

#43Swap spit/kiss someone who gets this. Cheaper than dental insurance. Time to bring back the kissing booth.

#44I'd want to know a lot more about that antibiotic these bacteria produce. If there is no natural immunity it will be developed very shortly if doses produced are low (and how can they possibly control for the dose). Then on the other hand if doses are really high, what about consuming an antibiotic for the rest of your life? What will it do to your gut flora? It seems very implausible to me. If I was working for FDA…
> 3: Is it dangerous to have bacteria secreting an antibiotic in your mouth? Does this mean you’re on a weak antibiotic all the time?

#45I've just started using ProBiora3 to try to reduce my gingivitis levels. I would love a one-application solution and will be watching this closely.
Has ProBiora3 helped?

#46One time, an orderly who thought she was just being senile tried to reach into her mouth to take out her teeth (thinking she had dentures). My great grandmother bit that person; hope they learned not all old people are senile!
I’m 40% of the way there. No cavities and rave reviews from my dentist. I brush—-best case —-once a day.
I’d not be surprised if it’s a genetic lottery of tooth enamel, tooth size (small) and mouth biome.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
I trust the sceince just fine, i dont trust corporate interests and how heavily and deeply coporate rot has penetrated into our institutions. I activly expect dishonesty on the part of corporate interest, and corporate interest is increasingly if not already entierly, government interest.
And yet, modern science involves humans, human interests, and human failings. Science practice is as flawed as the people that do it.

#48This story has been around for far too long and evidence is unbelievably weak, and the claims border on fraudulent. 1. The claim that this strain outcompetes the same S mutans from occupying the same niche cannot be true unless this strain is also capable of creating and tolerating environments with low pH. By definition if it creates acid to the same degree it will also cause cavities. 2. Single applications are ins…
It'll be interesting to see if it works.

Of course if your teeth are decaying due to cavities and this is left untreated, halitosis is also a common result.
