Gum problems and bad breath are common, and they tend to become more likely as we age. Brushing, flossing and regular dental visits are still the foundation of oral care, and no supplement replaces them.

Your mouth is home to billions of bacteria, and many of them are harmless or even helpful. Researchers have studied how the balance of these bacteria relates to bad breath and gum health, and some early studies have looked at whether probiotics can help support that balance. The evidence is still limited, and results vary from person to person.

ProDentim is a supplement that combines probiotic strains with other ingredients, and the manufacturer markets it to support oral health and fresh breath. On this page we summarize what the manufacturer says, point out the pros and cons, and link to the official website so you can read the full details before you decide.

A note of caution: if you have bleeding gums, persistent bad breath or tooth pain, see your dentist. These can be signs of a condition that needs professional treatment.
