New Sweet Could be Beneficial

Posted on March 3, 2025 by 12Webdb8

A new treat may actually aid oral health.

A German firm called Organobalance GMBH will launch a new sweet that claims to fight bad bacteria. It apparently does this by containing probiotic bacteria and stopping harmful bacteria from clinging to the teeth. This new sweet allows for the harmful bacteria to be swallowed and then excreted out of the body.

These sweets use the bacteria called lactobacillus paracasei.

The probiotic bacteria get released after sucking on the sweet. They eventually bind with harmful bacteria to prevent them from sticking to the gumline and enamel.

High-fluoride toothpaste may be beneficial in numerous ways.

A Swedish study from Malmo University suggests that this toothpaste thwarts white spots from developing on the teeth when braces are worn. The fluoride toothpaste possesses four times the regular amount of fluoride found in toothpaste.

Numerous studies have shown that 85 percent of people who have braces develop some kind of white lesions stemming from a type of decay.

This toothpaste proved effective in stopping one third of the white lesions in 11- to 16-year-olds. No toothpaste prior to this one proved to be as reliable in preventing the white spots.
