As I'm getting older I've noticed I'm starting to have a lot more issues with my teeth and gums. I don't have insurance and haven't been able to afford a trip to the dentist and am having some really bad problems with cracked teeth from how my wisdom teeth grew in, slanted frontways and causing pressure and cavities on the teeth in front of them. I had one removed a few years ago but the other three are still in there, well, kind of. 2 of them have broken down to the gumline and one is about 1/4 gone with more breaking off every few months. I know this makes them a breeding ground for bacteria and I occasionally get really bad infected toothaches. I usually treat them with garlic and other natural anesthetics and antibacterial oils and products. I'm very aware how dangerous it is not to seek treatment for toothaches and but you know what, I don't have it. One day I will. In the meantime my best bet is to keep my mouth as healthy and clean as possible. These probiotics seem to be helping and although it hasn't been more than a few weeks I can tell a difference in the appearance my gums and my breath feels much fresher. My gums were slightly puffy and sore when I ordered these but by day 4 of taking them They were already looking back to normal. I still did my normal swish of essential oils which is how I normally treat them which works, too Sooo I'm not sure if I can credit the probiotics for that or not. They are easy to chew and aren't bad tasting. Very minty. I take 2 per day since my needs are probably a little more severe. The label days you can take up to 3 but since I'm trying it for the first time I don't want to max out not knowing about possible reactions. Since I'm not noticing any negative side effects I'll probably up my dosage to 3 with the next bottle. I like the results so far and will be continuing to use them. I will definitely be buying more to continue my progress.
