ProBiora Professional Strength in Orange

ProBiora Health® has launched a new product flavor geared for adults, ProBiora Professional Strength in Orange. With the new Orange flavor, ProBiora Professional Strength, sold primarily through dental and orthodontic offices, now comes in 2 flavors for adults—including the original Gentle Mint. ProBiora Kids, which features a Creamsicle flavor, also is available through clinicians’ practices. The company also is introducing products designed to help your pets maintain a healthier mouth, fresher breath, and bright teeth. ProBiora for Dogs and ProBiora for Cats (formerly ProBioraPet) oral care probiotics come in convenient daily-dose pouches.

Featuring a proprietary and patented blend of 3 naturally occurring strains of beneficial bacteria, ProBiora offers the only probiotics from the mouth, for the mouth. According to the company, these good bacterial strains specifically target the bad bacteria that live on people’s and pets’ teeth and gums. Repopulating the mouth’s good bacteria is said to be critical because left untreated, the harmful mouth bacteria can overtake the oral biome and lead to infections such as tooth decay, gum disease, and more. ProBiora says this is key because other brands of oral-care probiotics contain bacteria from the sinus, throat, or gut.
