White teeth. Balanced oral health. Evora Plus™ mints for adults and EvoraKids™ chews for children add good bacteria and a low level of hydrogen peroxide to the oral environment for fresher breath, a healthier mouth, and whiter teeth. Twenty-five years of research went into the making of this innovative product, developed by Jeffrey Hillman, DMD, PhD. The company’s website states: “Within 30 days of using EvoraPlus twice daily, the natural healthy oral balance of good bacteria will be greatly restored and you will begin to notice a whiter, brighter smile and long-lasting fresh breath.” How it Works For some time, scientists have known that probiotics promote good digestive health. Yogurt, a food rich with probiotic power, is often recommended for patients with stoma... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3482991 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:11:38 +0100 3482991 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2660831&cid=t_147751_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fadministrator%2Fa-mouthful-of-goodness-probiotics-for-oral-health%2F Probiotics S. salivarius and B. coagulens promote good bacteria that fight bad bacteria in the mouth. A new lozenge called Advanced Oral Hygiene, by Life Extension, used twice daily after brushing, improves oral and digestive health. These particular probiotics may also improve the immune system’s response, as well. B. coagulens helps white blood cells detect bad bacteria and gives “natural killer cells” an energy boost. S. salivarius deters inflammatory cytokines in the body. Another benefit, and a result of the digestive benefits, Advanced Oral Hygiene lozenges promote fresh breath. Studies show that 85% of participating halitosis patients experienced improvement.

I’d like to start this post with a little exercise. Begin by holding you hand(palm facing you) approximately 3 inches in front of your mouth. Now blow a full breath into your hand. While keeping your hand in place, take a whiff of the air in front of your hand. What do you smell? Hopefully nothing, or better yet, something pleasant. For those of you less than happy with what you’re smelling right now, this post may prove to be particularly prudent. I say that half-jokingly because we all know that anyone at any time can have bad breath. Heck, I’m quite diligent with my oral care routine and I still have bad breath from time to time. That being said, I believe we can all benefit from the advice in this post. Bad Breath Causes Before I get to the pr...

A recent study by Japanese researcher Dr. Nao Suzuki found that these people also have a higher incidence of gum disease, increased PPD, methyl mercaptan (a gas responsible for halitosis), loose teeth, and other health issues. The bacteria H. pylori is responsible for stomach ulcers and cancer, but a person with the bacteria in the mouth may show no signs of stomach problems. Dr. Suzuki hopes to research the link between H. pylori in the mouth and the stomach next. Dr. Suzuki’s research was published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology, December 2008.

Well, its halitosis. That’s right - bad breath. It’s all around us, and just never seems to go away. Why? Well, most people don’t know they have a problem with halitosis unless they’re alerted by others. Even then, the problem is likely not to go away. If you’ll remember way back to June of this year, I wrote a short article about the causes and remedies for halitosis. Alexandr Bo, a good friend of Dental Heroes, recently wrote an extensive article on his blog, Worldental.org outlining the potential causes of halitosis and the medical issues that could arise from the condition. Halitosis is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s pretty common, actually. So, if you know you have a problem with halitosis, or suspect that yo...

The scientists named the new bacteria on known bacteria with similar attributes, Prevotella melaninogenica and Prevotella pallens. While some mouthwashes kill bacteria, they can only be used for a brief time, so they aren’t effective. Other mouthwashes only mask halitosis. Now that these culprits have been identified, the next hurdle is finding out how to combat them.

The picture of one of them, a 15 year old, apparently asleep when she died, was especially striking: her modern-looking braided hair, her Sarape, the like of which is worn today by the locals in the Andes, and her faint smile (was she dreaming when she died?) evoked a sense of awe and marvel at how little things change (le plus ça change le plus c’est la meme chôse). Judging from the shape of her face and lips, one could tell that she had a full set of teeth. The Incas of 500 years ago obviously didn’t brush or floss their teeth. How did they maintain them in good hygienic condition?Eat right!With our ... The Doctor Weighs In blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=880122 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 06:54:15 +0100 880122
