Oral probiotics contain specific bacterial strains adapted to survive and colonize the oral cavity—not the gut. The strains in OraMax (Lactobacillus reuteri, L. salivarius, and Bifidobacterium lactis) have been specifically researched for their ability to adhere to oral tissues, produce antimicrobial compounds against oral pathogens, and support periodontal health. They work locally in your mouth before being swallowed, unlike gut probiotics that need to survive stomach acid to work in the intestines.

Taking OraMax after brushing ensures that beneficial probiotics colonize a clean oral environment, free from excess plaque and debris. This allows the probiotic strains to better adhere to tooth and gum surfaces and establish themselves without competition from existing biofilm. The dissolving format also means the ingredients coat your oral tissues for maximum contact time before bed or throughout the day.

Yes. Bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by volatile sulfur compounds produced by harmful bacteria in the mouth. Lactobacillus reuteri produces reuterin, which specifically inhibits the anaerobic bacteria responsible for these odor-causing compounds. Multiple studies show that L. reuteri significantly reduces halitosis parameters. The xylitol and cinnamon also provide immediate breath-freshening benefits while addressing the root bacterial cause.

Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol found in fruits and vegetables that has been extensively studied for over 50 years for dental health.
It's FDA-approved and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Xylitol is unique because cavity-causing bacteria cannot ferment it into acid—they actually attempt to metabolize it and cannot, which inhibits their growth.
It also prevents bacteria from adhering to teeth, reducing plaque and biofilm formation. The amount in OraMax is safe and effective for daily use.
